I think the shot is great. The ambience is what makes it, and a
certain amount of recognition of the background is needed to make it
work. It could possibly have benefitted from the shot being taken
slightly closer but that is all the improvement I can see, and it is
both marginal and questionable.
The comment about the Summilux being better under all condition is
true, except for one very important condition. f/1. That can be all
the difference.
