Two comments:
a) The light beams would be more visible and dramatic if you started with an image that had a much darker, lower contrast background. Against a background with very bright and very dark areas and lots of texture/detail, they tend to get lost.
b) It's just my personal opinion, but I'm not a fan of obvious effects (eg, the cross processing effect you used) unless it has a real purpose in the image, or a purpose in a series of images by the artist.
Just my $0.02,
