 OK, I might have 'played' with this shot a bit...well, quite a lot for me!

Very slight crop and then I added the 'spotlight'...

Filters >render >lighting effects

Quickly ran it through neatimage and this is the end product.

It didnt start life as a great image and it hasn't ended up one either, but, I am happy with it (apart from the writing on the sign looking a bit weird) and I did do some PS stuff that I haven't done before so that's got to count for something...right?

Oh and here is the original (just resized and sharpened)...

Photographs don't have to be "pretty" to be great. I think you've done an excellent job in pp emphasising the important aspect of this shot - the sign and the single candle. From a purely photojournalistic(sp?) point of view, a simple crop would have worked just as well. The lighting effect however, has ensured that the viewer reads the sign first, which is important for the storytelling to flow in the right direction.
