I think you overdid the vignetting here, in the sense that it would greatly benefit from more feathering. At least to me, that is.

Great picture, resembles me of Kertész.
A great backlight shot!
I like it a lot young man.

Hi Joakim,
first of all, I appreciate your honesty, I really do.
Regarding the vignetting, it is interesting to discuss. You are quite right that it is "overdone", if I'm trying to "fake" the analogue equivalent of bad lenses.
Instead, I would say that to me, the effect I added, contributed to the atmosphere of the picture. It added the feeling of a strong winter sun in early springtime... that's it to me.
I have stopped worrying about whether my post processing looks "genuine" or not (i.e. analogue), it is not about that to me. Digital is my medium and my material.
You could see this as developing the copies in a too hot developer, or by having an unexpected elbow pointing in into the composition. Either it is a failed photo, since it doesn't work - or it makes the difference in positive terms.
Hail to the norm deconstruction. :-)

I like the view from the street full of shadows and light all teh way to Västerbron. For me the vingetting adds.
