The vignette came from the lens, I didn't add it. and from the rules: No “effects” filters may be applied to your image, with the exception of Noise and Gaussian Blur.

I really appreciate all of the comments. I feel like I won something with this image. I really like it, and I didn't expect to convey that here as well as I seemed to. 5.92 right now, miles above my initial guess. Thanks!

Like this a lot. Don't care for the extra grain in the corners, looks like a lack of quality more than planned editing, but that's minor. Hope it does well for you.

looks a bit like you have introduced noise and vignette so I'm curious to know how you did this in basic.
Very nice shot though 7 from me
