a lot of folks hate (OH NOES... NOT THAT WORD AGAIN!) the over-usage of vignettes in pics that have been post-processed. personally am a big fan. not always, of course. but, imo, it's a great effect when used appropriately. and i use it probably way too much...
long of the short... show us your love (or hate) for your pics you've added vignette to! here's some from me to get the ball rollin':
I'm often a big fan, lately I've been using the graduated filter to control how much goes in which corner, but here's some with straight-up vignette PP's:
I think the Peter Rabbit one uses graduated filters & vignette.
/eta/ Alright, sorry for that. Using a new browser for the first time today. Way way faster than IE, FF, Safari or anything else I've tried with my netbook but was copying the wrong thing in my menu, thought I had a missing carat or quotation mark : P
lol... mine are inappropriate for 365 usage... however, I think they can be a useful tool to add intimacy and to draw the eye in. Hate is a good word when used appropriately too. ;)
@pwallis hahahahaa... that's where i do my vignetting, honestly. i start there. then, i fuck with it on photoshop... burn/dodge really helps with the lighting effects
I'll admit I'm a little addicted to vignetting as well....I'm just drawn to it for some reason, so I totally understand Quin :) Here are a few of my images where I used it.
@dieter right on... i love white vignettes, too... they really help set off an image something fierce when used right, too! this is totally what i was looking for, believe it or not. white vignettes are just as much vignettes as black.
I added it on this one to keep the focus off of the items in the background or around the border. I try not to use a vignette all that much, for the most part.
This one's actually just natural. It's the falloff from the light at the shutter speed/aperture I shot at.
Tweets ahoy!

Here's tonight's. A little stronger than usual.
And this one is more subtle:
thanking you ;)
this one was funky with the editing. over exposed and then i played around a lot.
this one is one of my faves. i love vignettes and use them often but not very dark and heavy. i'm more of a light and subtle fan. ;)
Eh and there's more... :D
I can go overboard and ugly with them and still learning when to stop.
Another dragon one!
Thar be dragons!
@catalfonso really feeling the vignette for that car pic!
@cmc1200 i LOVE this pic!
I don't think I ever used a vig intentionally, but I guess this one counts:
And maybe this from yesterday:
... but this is the first time I've ever used a white vignette. Ever.
Quite heavy on the vignette :-)

don't love:
love this one:
hate this one:
I had to go back before summer to find samples, I used to throw all sorts of shitty 'effects' at pictures. ;)
And more dark:
And then my first PP:
