That's a really lovely image. So much interesting detail...

I do like the ethereal look.  It reminds me of 19th C. lenses.

I like it as well, apart from the rather heavy-handed vignetting on the right.

Quite moody, like it.

Interesting and very nicely done. I don't think that vignetting really adds a lot to this shot.

I think the vignetting gives it a timeless quality and nods to ancient and alternative photographic processes...

I think it gives it dark edges and corners, and nothing more.

A light vignette can serve to draw the eye into the centre of the image without drawing attention to itself: i use it a lot. A heavy-handed vignette, such as even the second version (which is an improvement over the first) is merely intrusive.

Have you ever shot Large Format sheet film with an antique lens? It really does have a certain charm...
