I realize that what a posted did have vignette correction. This is all vignetting correction turned off. This reduces the effect, and now the lighter areas are mostly on the horizon. Perhaps that is just how the light looked at this time not sure.

That looks much better. The horizon looks correct too, it's normal for it to be lighter. Notice too how the plants at the bottom previously seemed to have a reflector shining into them - now they look as expected. Problem solved!

As noggin mentioned, some additional reading here:

That's a really good resource - I remember first using it years ago when I needed some info about polarisation, it's great that it's still there. The whole thing (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ligcon.html) should be compulsory reading for all serious photographers.

Your post corrections are looking good! When there is a "U" or a look similar to shooting through a PVC pipe with tunnel vision that is it. Happens similar at seaside locations with fog, sea spray and sand. Glad that there are resources like this online to reference. You'll spot this occurrence frequently in varying degrees.

For a moment you may have pondered if the 16-35/2.8 would fix this.

Yes I had an EFS 10-18 and thought maybe this fancy L lens would exhibit different characteristics.  But perhaps physics trumps all else.
