Interesting shot and a bit mysterious!
almost "street"
i don't find the question or tension, but maybe cultural lack of knowledge.
perhaps more introduction / background for the shot ?
still not seeing what you feel.
I like the ambiguity, in the steeple, and the figure walking away. The lighting contributes to this as well. It poses a question and tells a story at the same time. Well done, Michael.

Street photography documents ephemeral, unposed interactions in public spaces between people, or between people and their surroundings, in a way that implies a narrative instead of simply depicting what was in front of the camera’s lens. The narrative may be explicit or implicit, obvious or subtle, literal or ironic, and subject to varying interpretations by different viewers. Animals or objects may take the place of people if their relationship with other elements in the photograph contributes to the narrative. Similarly, the interaction need not take place in a street or an urban environment or even outdoors.
I shot that on the way home from the supermarket...oddly enough.
Excellent. Well-seen. Compels the viewer to keep looking at it and wondering, "what's going on here?" In that respect, as a pseudonymous poster wrote, at the very least it's "almost 'street.'"
Personally, I would delete the "almost" qualification because my definition of "street photography" is quite expansive (https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=125135.msg1047678#msg1047678).
Probably best not to have revealed that. Keep us guessing.

David nails it, for me.
Great catch.
