I cut the holes so that they are on the bottom when mounted to the Canon lens. Left is the 70-200 f/2.8 and the right is 135mm f/2.0

I don't use the filter with a lens hood. I wouldn't be able to adjust it if I did

I did not know that. I assumed same focal length would give similar results.
This gives some more information that explains lens design differences, that can lead to a mixed bag of results with different lenses. Not all focal lengths are created equal...

The safe approach is to use a step up adapter ring with a larger THIN CPL...and they ARE available.

Exactly... so not to catch the corner depth of the filter.

Not trying to argue, but I just now tried it on a blue sky, shooting Canon full frame with an RF24-105 at 24, 77mm thread, with a 77mm Nikon CP, no sign of vignetting even at full mag. I must be missing something?
All lenses are different, the Canon 35mm, 50mm, 135mm primes, 16-35, or 24-70 all have no issues. The RF may not also...
It will happen at the wide end, wide open in low light if it does.
I do 99% of my work with polarize filters...

The OP stated he removed the UV filter, so wasn't stacking, which made me think there might be another cause.i don't know Nikon. Is that a lens that might have some vignetting?
You will need to use an adapter and go at least two sizes bigger for a filter. The same thin will happen even on a Canon 70-200 at 70mm when you use the 77mm screw in filter... you are basically shading the corners, and not getting a negative affect from the filter.
The wider the lens. the larger the CPL will need to be. A Canon 11-24mm requires a 186mm filter for an example on the extreme.
Stacking filters will amplify the problem.

I left a message for the Band "Lords of 52nd street" (ex Billy Joel) via face book with a screen shot of the original post.
It will be interesting If I get a reply... I would think the Band would step in and repair the damage.

And it goes on and on...
This is an advertisement on a news media board for a photo posted for sale by a promotional company. It was submitted by ether the photographer, or band and looks to be part of an agreement for the submission.
... the legal fees would exceed the value of a print of this unknown local band in less than one hour of consultation.

This whole thing is odd ...
The link supplied to the photo is to a news company called "News Times.com". The advertising tab is open to a running add for the parent company "My Capture inc." They are a promotional company.
You must have submitted the photo into a contest type, promotional contract, or the band did so with or without you knowing.

I do not see anything on your bio to indicate you are a professional? Is this a one time thing on a single image?
Can you post the image with the watermark for an opinion on the value?

Is this a major Band, big money?
You seem to know who is selling... so how much money, and who is publishing it?
If your name is on it, your exposure will be worth overlooking it, and not being a source of grief will be a gain, rather than a detriment to future clients.
Value more what you can produce now, not what you have done in the past. It's easy to make a few calls, but making friends has far greater value than making enemies.

Your color grading and shadow detail are absolutely superb. Great Work!

Try a combination,
Use a mask and gradient from corner to corner with the two stacked images when editing... use the "blend if" shadow slider (lower slider to the right) to hide the shadows.
I do this often to add color contrast and realism to blend warm highlights, cool shadows, across the image from the light source. A flat color cast look of warm orange or yellow is not all that appealing. Color contrast can add a sense of direction and realism to the edited result.

ISO 500, and a shutter speed at 3200...?
As for me... f5, ISO 200, and the shutter could go as low as 100 or even lower than that (with image stabilization). all depends on what I need for motion blur. There are good charts that
At f 20 your actually reducing sharpness and 3200 is overkill. ISO 500 in sun is a waste of shadow detail.
Recomendations:

"For jets, aperture priority works best. f/5.6 to f/8 and let the camera deal with shutter speed. For propeller planes, use shutter priority with a speed of 1/25 second to 1/125 second so the props blur and the aircraft look like they're really flying, not hanging from a string."

👍👍 my reaction as well. Too many contradictory and simply wrong statements to know where to begin...
Showing teeth as usual...
Fun to engage, and hopefully get the real information out. The comments never stop amazing me...
