yes it has got a vignette.
No i have no idea where it came from. :/
In (DPP) RAW -- brightened a touch, slide the contrast bar all the way to the right (vignette shows up a touch on this step). Under the RGB tab, substantial contrast (more vignetting showed up) and it changed it to a yucky yellow color. Saturated the yucky yellow color. Then, selected the "G" channel and moved some slider thing and it turned to this red background, which I really liked. Used a heavy does of DPP's noise reduction. Saved as a jpeg.
In paintshop wanna-be-a-pro, I cropped, hit clarify once (maybe -- tried it again and it didn't do anything, so maybe i didn't) resized, usm, then used noise reduction. i also had to remove two dust bunny droppings. submitted
Me? Well, I'm typically straight as an arrow. But, my mind wanders, my opinions change, I get sidetracked VERY easily, and I fill like I'm going in several different directions that may eventually get me where I'm going, but not easily. Many times I feel that people are my friends simply out of obligation (which is totally irrational, I hope). And burgandy is one of my favorite colors! |

| I just couldn't figure this out although it was one that I looked at many times. But I love the abstract-ness and the color/tone is gorgeous!! |

| Nice tones, but the relationship of the title to the image goes over me head. |

| I like it. To me it says that perhaps you hold to close and wrap yourself up in the lives of others, but you know this and hope others accept it as well. I am sure with this personality trait comes a loyalty not easily found. |

| Super simplicity. I'm not sure that I get the title, but I love the colors: the red contrasted with the creamy strings of lighter bits. I think it's from compression, but the background seems a little blotchy on my monitor. |
