Way, way, way too much and too obvious vignette.

Lew's right, but I like the conversion and the subject.

Nice photo. That headstone carries a lot of information.

Thanks for the comments and i am still learning and playing with different effects, i really wanted the eye to be drawn to the stones. This was the photo before the "Excessive vignette"

I think its a very interesting shot. I love shooting in cemeteries. Most people find that interest on the weird side, but it looks like I'm not the only one with the inclination to shoot headstones. And, for what its worth, I like the vignette.

Agreed. The one without the vig looks much better in my opinion.

Don't be afraid to use whatever tools you want, to convey your feeling and point of view. I prefer the first picture, it focuses on the main subject of the picture, background or the grass are only important in making the mood, which original picture has much less. Don't get stuck in conventions. Unless you do factual photography for the court .

The vignette helps the image and I agree with your choice to use it.
You were just a bit heavy handed - at least for my taste.

Picture goes well with this playing in the background:

I also agree, I like the original PP's, but maybe a tad less vignette. Well done..!!!
But anyway, remember, the main person to make happy about your photos is you, you can't please everybody, because everybody has different tastes...
