   v8 — PUSH THE IMAGE FURTHER + CINEMATIC + DYNAMIC (June 2, 2026)
   Per Atta's note: the carousel still felt too close, too wide, too
   static. Fixes in this pass:
   1. Stronger blur (4.5 px) so the scene reads as memory, not photo
   2. Radial vignette that fades the edges into deep navy — the
      carousel sits inside a dark frame instead of bleeding edge to edge
   3. Slow Ken Burns scale-and-pan animation (32 s alternating cycle) —
      adds the cinematic dolly-in motion that "premium" needs
   4. Reduced opacity (0.82) so the image feels atmospheric, not loud
