About the vignette...it looks really good on my desktop PC at home, where I do all of my editing. My personal laptop, which I didn't check before submitting (d'oh) has a lot of banding...my work laptop makes it look disgusting, almost like a tunnel. Is this calibration? Quality? who knows...

One of my 2 favorites in the challenge -- I'm so glad it received a top 10!!! Faving it now (don't know why I didn't earlier...)

I don't see any banding either. It's actually quite surprisingly smooth. I did notice that when I sit closer to my screen the vignette doesn't seem as overpowering as it does when I lean back in my chair. It's actually quite the optical illusion...

No banding at my end, and one of my top picks for this challenge. Excellent view!

This is just beautiful. I am particularly fond of the vignette on this one, although I suspect others may not be. I wish the mottled artifacts weren't in the upper part of the sky, but they aren't extremely obvious and I can live with them. Bumping.

Overall, I like the scene. Nice deep blacks and bright white. I feel that the vignetting is a bit much for my tastes.

This image reminds me of where I grew up, farmland.

Very few photos in the challenge meet the challenge theme very well. This is a superb exception. Super photo. Thanks for showing us this winter horizon.

I think the vignette is overpowering an otherwise lovely photo.
