Photogs Enter
Night shots require a lot of adjustments to shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. I would recommend getting more comfortable with the camera side of things before you try to post process. The old saying is "you can't polish a turd." Photoshop and programs like it do not churn out fantastic photos from crap exposures. They make great exposures just a little better 
Most of those pics look too soft, not sharp enough. You need a tripod or to improve the way you hold the camera. Photography is the art of catching light. The best time of the day to get great pics is between 4:00PM to 6:00PM. For example:
Avoid such severe angles such as the one in the first pic. A bit tilting is cool such as:
or:
Look for good backgrounds:
At night with a tripod:
Keep shooting and shooting....Does your camera have full manual controls? I would recommend a book titled: "Exposure and Lighting" by Michael Meadhra and Charlotte K. Lowrie.
Here is some other shots:
Good luck man! Photography is a great hobby!

I agree! I have a buddy that assumed that moving from his point and shoot to a 5DMkII would automatically give him the ability to capture amazing artistic photographs... He was sadly mistaken. Run of the mill snapshots all the same regardless if they are taken with a cell phone or a Hasselblad H4D.
