 Minor changes done here. The vignetting is due to my polarizer filter. It was accidental, but ended up looking quite cool.

Post Challenge: I guess I'm both surprised and not surprised this did somewhat poorly. I understand what people were saying about the vignetting, and like I said, it was an accident that I could only correct by cropping. I figured it would be better to not crop the image, but maybe if it upset so many people, I should have. However, I didn't think it would be under a 5, so that surprised me a little bit. I guess it was also just a very competitive challenge... But thanks for your comments and votes.

Good concept & subject, but I'd like to see it if you moved forward far enough to eliminate that utility pole. I really like the colors for their vibrant mutedness if that makes any sense.....6

vignetting is distracting the leading line is ok the subject lacks a little interest to me

I like the choice of centered composition and the richness of the reds and oranges, but the heavy vignette seems forced

Not a fan of the vignetting but the perspective makes you wonder what might be at the end of this boardwalk.

great leading line (vanishing point) photo. I think it would have worked well without the vignette.

The saturation seems a little intense. The vignette fulfills no purpose that I can see.

I see it's a pier or walkway. Stunning colors and I'll bet a pretty place.

The vignette is a little much -- the strong symmetry does plenty already to draw the eye into the image.

Usually i am a fan of vignette but it seems a bit heavy handed here IMO
