Three things really caught my eye: 1) the chap with the metal detector ... in the middle of a town (?), 2) the chimney stack and 3) I'd forgotten about the fantastic architecture of the parish church and specifically of its spire!
A wonderful shot, Howard!
Does the man take photos? I've heard it said that some partially sighted people are helped by photography, as it enables them to see the views that they cannot see in real life.
I've never seen him use a camera or smartphone, so I doubt it.
And Roy's crop places the church too far to the left of the frame, and loses the lantern together with the building on the left which with the one on the right nicely "bookend" the points of interest.
Besides which, the shot has already been cropped as much as it can be; the composition having been beyond the range of the LX100's zoom.
I guessed you were contriving to include the lantern, but that has meant including the ugly roof ends as well, plus the gap down the side of the church. (Roof ends gone now.)
The chimney is the main point of interest here, so the church forms a perfectly adequate 'bookend' without needing additional features, which simply leave the picture looking cluttered.
Forget the lantern (which doesn't show up too well anyway) and home in on the important bits.
