Default Canon Beach, vignette too heavy?

This shot was taken at Canon Beach, Oregon:

Needles Sunset

Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/10.0
Focal Length: 20 mm
ISO Speed: 200

My question for everyone here is, am I applying too heavy of a vignette on the image itself? Thanks in advance

My answer....yes.

Nice capture though. It might look better with a dark gradient at the bottom and/or the top to emphasize the center horizon? Just a thought...don't know if it would work or not.

My quick answer: yes, I think it would enhance the great photo more if it was lighter.

I agree, too heavy. IMO, once a vignette is seen as "feature" of a photo, it is too dark.
