With the telephoto extension on and using wide angle my camera vignettes really badly.
Taking this shot without the vignetting shows too much - off to the right there is a fairly ugly bit of stone pier, and too the left there is a building. Using the vignetting eliminated them from the frame and created a much cleaner look.
Also, it gave me an idea for this theme.

The quality of this shot is awesome. The exposure seems to be just right, and the focus is right on. It has a "rich" quality to it; the sepia really gives it a vintage feeling as well. I like the vignetting, it makes it feel like I am looking through a telescope or something. I've read through your comments, and really can't think of anything else to say to improve this shot. I found it superb in technique and composition, and it is a creative take on the challenge. Nicely done.
nice effect with the telescope sort of tunnel view, though I'm not sure its my favourite thing with that much black around it. I also like your choice of sepia, it goes with the captioning well. :)
Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :-> It really does look like a genuine vintage shot, though, and major kudos fro that.
Very interesting image, I love the entire look from the slight sepia look to the filter used to obtain the appearance of looking through something. Makes me feel like I just stepped back to the about 1910.
I like the vignette effect; a bit more sepia tone would have been beneficial, of course that's a matter of opinion!
Could you have emphasized the clouds by adjusting color channels?
Overall, very nice image.
Lovely image with a great border. The font matches the tone and style of the architecture wonderfully. This is a superb B/W image. Raising the point of view would give us more of the fancy building and less of the pier structure and supports.
Wow, the vignetting effect is a GREAT idea and especially for this "old style" and feel post card. You should have used some old type fonts maybe. EXCELLENT! 8.
I lust love the old fashioned feeling your post card creates. The sepia toning comes through well. (You also get one extra point seeing I was born not too far from here!) But seeing I can't give you an 11 you'll just have to make do with a 10, sorry.
