Darkening the peripheral parts of an image

In the historical images we see very often an effect called "vignetting" as oval shape around portraits. The purpose of vignetting is focus the observer's eye onto the main subject away from unimportant image elements. Oval-shaped vignettes are out of date; however a more free-style vignetting is used in many pictures you see in today's journals and magazines to accomplish exactly the same: focus the observer's eye onto the important image element. See here two examples of how vignetting can help to improve a rather mediocre shot.
