Actually on both shots there are vignetting on the top left, bottom left, and bottom right corners, strange that there are no noticable vignetting on the top right...

Ok...wat exactly is vignetting? Wat causes it and how to prevent it? *Boggled

See the darker corners comparing to the brighter center portion? This effect is call vignetting. It is usually caused by the lens barrel blocking lights off, and sometimes poor optics. It will also occurs on some lenses when thick filter or teleconveter (front type like the Oly B300) is mounted in front of the lens. In your case, since you mentioned that you took it with a point and shoot camera, i believe it's caused by the optics/lens, and you can't really avoid it short of changing to a better camera.

hi, i have seen this scene in your photo before. I saw one taken by national geographic, taken from around the same place as you have taken yours. maybe you would like to check it out for yourself, national geographic photograph field guide, can borrow from the library.
maybe a polarizing filter can help to make this picture more appealing. a bit overexposed.
