I understand why this was called a vignette in basic. I like the image, I think the processing is rock solid. Personally, I don't care for the border, I think it detracts from the image and gives it an almost claustrophbic feel.

Oh crud - disqualified for a faded border???
This style of border is not unusual and at least in my opinion, is clearly a border, not a vignette.
Sorry about the SC ruling on this one. Nice shot regardless!
