I might have tried cropping it as a panoramic, deleting the sky so the brightest thing in the photo is the car and I would pass on the vignette.

This shot reminds me of the way Tog Gear films. Lots of vignetting and great focal point of the Audi on the countryside. Because of the reference, i like it. If I didn't know what Top Gear was, I'd say the vignetting is too much. So it depends on your target audience.

Default Ease off the vignetting

Just like Bianca, the first thing I thought of when I looked at that image was Top Gear (UK). The over-use of filters on that program has annoyed me for some time.

DPatton's idea for the graduated filter, giving more light to the bottom half of the image, would appeal to me a lot more. I also want to see the bottom of the car.

I can't stop looking over the farmland below. I'd be more than happy with a little hut perched on that hill. Great outlook and great photo.

I agree with others in that the vignetting is to harsh...either feather it a bit more or take it out all together (i would do the latter). No need to vignette as the car is already the focal point of the picture. I would probably also crop out the trees to the left as they detract from the panoramic view of the photo and the darkness there is distracting.

A vote for the harsh vignette from me too. I think it's a bit too much and gives the photo a 'digitalization' feel. The photo looks great though

Very nice photo, although the vignette is too obvious and too strong for my taste in all corners except in the upper right corner. Removing or backing down with vignette and decreasing the contrast in the sky while keeping the contrast and "punch" in the car might do the trick.
