Burning down the house

I was quite torn on this and ended up bumping it to a 7 towards the end of voting. I really like the concept and story, but felt the execution wasn’t quite there. But as you wrote, this wasn’t really deliberate. It ended up being pretty strong regardless. I would have loved to have seen more of the spooky path in the lower right leading to the building to give a little more context.

I like the concept a lot but it looks like there is maybe some camera shake here. Possibly intentional, but would prefer to see this a bit sharper
