Really like this shot John..not so much the harsh vignette.

[Jill]

Love it. it could be timeless.

I found this quite captivating and the vignette works for me, which is unusual for me.

It's more of a rough border than a vignette and I also like the effect...

This is a good shot and a good interpretation through the PP...pretty much like what Richard has for his dad's image in another post.

I like this shot the way it is

This works very nicely for me - the vignette, tint, and border all effectively conspire to the same ambience for me. The entire issue of borders here at CiC is unclear to me. I get a sense of a prevailing view that on the one hand, images should be able to stand on their own without the "decorative embellishment" of a border, yet one the other, sometimes a nicely chosen border (as here) seems integral to an image's success.

Mark, thanks for the comments. I was less than inspired by borders when I first joined this forum, I can still sometimes choose a less than desirable border, most of posts don't have one at all. I thought the white border was befitting of the type of nostalgic look I was going for.

Interesting shot John. Your PP works well and the image does have the appearance of an old image, but I'm curious why your decided to process it the way you did. For me this is an interesting shot, the expression on the woman's face as well as the faces in the background suggest this could work very well just as a B&W street shot. In either case, I like the way all the faces in the BG are OOF and I'm left to wonder what exactly the woman was looking at.

Hi Jack, thanks for the comments. The color version worked well for me and I can see B & W standard street shot. I started post-processing and felt a nostalgic look would look interesting. There was so much to view on the street that day, in the midst of a New Orleans block party that it's difficult to say what she was looking at or who the bystanders in the background were looking at

I haven't read the other comments but my first thought upon seeing the white vignette is that it complements your caption so well. I had the feeling that when the subject steps into that area of the vignette and beyond that she is literally stepping from one moment in time to another.
