I like it very much, especially the train light (don't know what you call them), the smoke and the stars!

Not a big fan of the tracks, but hey... only my opinion

Gotta try out topaz looks good and now I wanna read Harry Potter =)

VERY nice, ALB! Which Topaz tools did you use? The stars are obvious, but what about the smoke and overall look?

Actually I think the only Topaz filter was the Star Effects. The rest of it was PS. The smoke was brushed out with the Color Mixer brush and darkness accomplished with a layer of black or dark grey then reducing the opacity until it looked right. I didn't keep up with the exact steps and this has been a few days since I posted it. That Star Effects filter is wayyyy cool.
