Hopefully these are in the correct order. Which is better or least worst?
Mild Vignette
Moderate Vignette
Strong Vignette

I like the strong vignette in these series of photos. I usually don't normally like it strong but I think it works well with this photo.

I think I like #2. Its helps to bring the focus of attention in to the kayakers.

I agree, normally I don't much care for vignette but this particular photograph lends itself to strong vignette, it really puts the emphasis on the kayakers!

WHY a Vignette ? Why not a slide show of photos > OPENING with a wide shot of the empty River> FADE TO Shot#2 of the rowers in a tight group and then FADE TO to a panorama shot from the riverbank showing them floating along from extreme left of frame to extreme right of frame
All this is just me thinking "out loud" Use this info or trash it as per your mood at the time !

It looks to my eyes that you're attempting an edge burn, but limiting it to the two wides sides of the image. The idea being to force the viewers eyes to see what you want them to see.
I don't know if you have photoshop, but if you can work with layers and use 'Blend Modes" you may find this helpful:
With the eliptical marquee tool, make a selection of the area that you do not wish to darken, right click that selection and select feather, set the ammount to somewhere between 150 and 250 pixels and press ok. Press "D" on the keyboard to make the foreground color Black, Right click the selection again and click on "Select inverse", now you will have two sets of marching ants Right click again and choose "Layer via Copy. A new layer is created with the selection you made on the outer edges and the inner edge is transparent. With that new layer active, change the blend mode to "Multiply" and the outer edges get darker. Still on the layers pallet reduce the Opacity until the colors of the selection are richer, but the black is no longer visible.
This works well for me, but there are many other way's to do the same thing. Experiment with it and have fun.
