The results for the Sepia challenge have been recalculated due to the disqualification of the 1st place image. The photographer mistakenly applied a vignette with the sepia effect, and self-reported it. Congrats to kine on the new ribbon.
Can I ask why we dont allow vignette's??? Just wondering?
Its not that we don't allow vignettes. Its that we don't allow added elements. If it wasn't there when you snapped the shot then its not legal.
Someone correct me if I am wrong
edit: Here is the exact part of the basic ruleset
You may not use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as vignettes, lens flare or
motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture.
That being said I am not sure if it would legal under advanced or not.

I believe that adding a vignette in Advanced is legal! Although you can't add a lens flare!
One thing to be learned from this story: Watch out when you apply Lightroom "presets". They work by simply changing the settings for the image, so you can see what they do. Some apply vignette for effect, which isn't legal.
