I reworked this with very heavy vignette effect. I haven't used this before. Is it widely used and thought acceptable or gaudy and looked down upon?

I like the effect with this image, as it really brings the focus to the web.

I don't look down on this technique Charlie and in fact I look up on it. I don't listen to the warnings of the"acceptance police" about what is looked down upon or not. In my opinion you have an artistic license to do whatever you want. Nice image but will it be looked down upon? I like it.

Thanks for thoughts Rob and David. My previous post of this image was way out of balance from the bright side plants and the vignette toned them the way I hoped.

Creative licence is all yours. Run with it. The death of a season is always tragic... I like it.

I think it works well with this image. The darkness closing in on the end of the season. If the web had been perfect, I don't think the heavy vignette would have worked. Nicely done!
