Hey that's a great image! I like it as is but I wonder if I'd like it more with a little less vignetting. Or maybe with the vignette but without the black border. Just a thought.

I quite like it with the vignetting, maybe just a little less in the top right behind the sign. But the colors, contrast, and sharpness are all great.

I like the second one better!

The HDR-like vividness works for this image. It makes me want to know the story behind it.

The one thing that's getting me is the blowout in the top right hand corner—is that preventable or fixable in any way? The contrast or saturation is too much there...

Still, last point withstanding, it's a great shot. Well done!

I like it. The vignetting is alright.

Yep, like that. I like that better. As been said, the upper right corner is still a little dark but I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's very good!

I really like the vignetting, it adds a neat effect. Great shot!

Maybe if the vignette was done in a more subtle way.. like instead of using multiply (or normal) blending, use overlay? that would blend the dark colors in a little less strongly.
