Nice detail in the figure, but am very distracted by the background. IMHO it detracts from the image.

The main subject is pretty complex and so having a relatively complicated background (despite being blurred) and a textured reflective surface, the whole image is pretty busy. I bet it didn't compress well and you may have had to step down the jpeg quality a fair amount to get under the 150K limit - in my limited experience on this site, the clean and simple ones work the best. If this was taken from a lower viewpoint, with a wider angle looing up against a neutral background, the horse would be much better isolated and I'm certain would have scored higher - good luck.

Maybe you bought this on ebay, but the shot is dull, boring and uninspiring, no thought has gone into this. Nice bokeh though.
