Lest We Forget

I decided to head down to the Oshawa overpass to view and support the latest Canadian Soldier to pass away. The escort goes from Trenton to Toronto along the Highway of Hero's (401)

I played with Photoshop a bit and came up with this photo, I'd like to hear everyones take on it, and if I could improve it in anyway, or if you like it the way it is.

I don't think a white vignette has ever improved a photograph, but that's my opinion. It's just too easy to do in photoshop and I think it's very hard to pull off without being cheesy, like selective coloring and other simple effects. There is also a problem with the grain because it disappears around the edges, like the vignette is hiding it. There is totally potential in this photo though, but just remember less is more when it comes to these kinds of effects.
