I like the simple elegance of the photo. The softness looks like a lack of focus. A sharper focus on the stone with softness on the band would be more dramatic.

Comment by mariuca:
The very thing - but there are in my view too many unsolved elements. The flames seem really cropped and do not add the frightening element that I wish for. The pages (Grisham?) are almost delicately ripped and placed on top of each other too carefully only to be burned. The lighting is too even for such a terrible event.
I know how hard is to take such a shot, I tried it myself and made a mess in the building!
I bet we'll try it again though!
5 for effort
