White Vignettes

I like vignettes. I almost always apply a little or a lot to my images. In CS5 and ACR, I use the Lens Correction feature but I almost always turn the vignette correction slider all the way to the left to turn it off. I generally use vignettes to darken down the edges of my images to draw attention and focus to the center. On one occasion, I used a white vignette instead with this photograph of a tree during a winter storm. There was snow on the ground and the snow was falling fast and the usage of a white vignette, instead of a black vignette, really helped to simplify the composition and reinforce the mood; a dreamy winterly scene.

So if you like vignettes as well, don't forget they can go the other way too!
