Are you sure you want to know Pete?
The National Enquirer has made a FORTUNE based on the premise that "Enquiring minds want to know."
To more directly answer your question, HELL NO!!

great stuff as usual Helene! You never dissapoint!
I really like this picture.
Can you tell me a little about it? Lens, settings etc?
The reason I am asking is that with a still life picture like it is, I have never paid attention to vignetting before.
Had to look the word up myself after coming across it in a book.
The bottom of the heart and the top of the chain are both a softer focus and I am wondering if it is "vignetting" and due to the lens you are using or was it from the DOF created by the aperture setting.

That particular shot is actually a combination of 15 shots. The soft focus in the front and back was unintentional. I posted the exif data below and an "original" shot of what it would look like with a 24mm lens at f/1.4 at 1/125. The focus is on the front heart, and very shallow depth of field. To get the final shot with more depth of field, I took 15 consecutive shots by changing the focus each time by small increments from front to back (the 15th shot would have the front out of focus and the back chain would be in focus --the reverse of the first shot) I then compiled those shots with software (Helicon Focus). --this technique is called focus stacking. The softness in the front and back is because I didn't get a shot with those points in focus --I get in a little bit of a hurry and move the focus ring too quickly and too much.
You can add blur vignetting in post processing if you get software like Nik Color Efex Pro.
Hope I haven't totally confused you
Nope clear a mud.
Just joking,
Had this image in my head of you with beads of sweat on your forehead working for hours setting up this elaborate overhead crane / tri-pod with light from a north facing window ---LOL or something like this hillbilly guy I used to know from North Carolina who when he wasn't walking barefoot in the woods stalking wild ginseng with a woodlands mask, would spend hours grinding glass by hand into this amazing telescope that he made with a stove pipe. Wow. I never would have thought it would be the results of software.

LOL, this just cracked me up. I do go to a lot of trouble setting up shots, I do walk barefoot whenever I can, I don't know where to find wild ginseng otherwise I would hunt it, and I don't grind glass. However, I would not classify myself as a hillbilly (or should it be hillnanny?)
You can do amazing stuff with software. Have you not looked into HDR (high dynamic range imaging) yet?
