For my part, I’ve always found that the human eye can’t focus on two different objects at the same depth very easily so it picks one or the other. In other words, when looking at a pair of eyes one usually focuses on one or the other, or their eyes dart indecisively between the two but that usually only happens in well acted interrogation scenes from movies. That being said, if you want to bring more definition to the darker and more blurry side of the amphibian’s face so the entire face is the subject and both eyes are equally exposed, definitely remove the vignette. However, I think you did the photo better justice by accentuating the darkness on the right hand side with the vignette, thus bringing more focus to what’s already the first thing someone notices when they see the photo-the mysterious eye in the center of the image.
