The block supports full width, allows you to add a background image and also has the possibility of inserting CSS filters into the image. This is a common feature to all three block variations in this plugin:

I also love the fact that the carousel is fully functional in the editor, and looks close to the final result.

Masonry

Once again the settings are not overwhelming and are in fact very intuitive even for beginners:

Stacked

And last, but not least, the “stacked” block, with a “grayscale” filter:
