Shot with a custom white balance to give the light a nice yellow tint. Increased the contrast slightly, used unsharp mask, played with blue levels slightly, and changed the color balance to highten the yellow tint of the light.

A strange effect. I think of low-budget sci-fi filns looking at this. It looks a bit like where the ramp lowers from the flying saucer and the bright light shines from inside. Now I KNOW I've been sitting at this computer for too long.
This picture looks too over-edited, as if you messed the curves up or pushed the saturation too far up. Use photoshop with moderation. For the rest, I don't understand your title (even though I'm sure it fits the challenge...somehow) and I find the large dark grey/brown area ugly and uninteresting. 3.
