I like the sight and the crowd but it is so very much oversharpened it makes me cringe

lovely creatures, horses… I love them. Is your hobby horse riding?

Unfortunately there are so many distracting items in this picture that makes it hard to give a high score, especially the gate in front of the horse's face.
You must have sensed this deficiency yourself since you tried to soften the background, but you did it very carelessly: there are still some unblurred patches at the horses noses and under the throats.

OH, I didn't get that, but now as you explained it it makes sense.

I liked the different take on the theme too.
There is so much dark space in your photo - which is good because it makes it clean and simple, on the other hand it was too much black for my personal taste. I'm a supporter of close crop - if it was my entry I would have cropped it more boldly on all sides but especially on the top.
Also there seem to be some scratches or unevenness in the reflecting foil (cheek and nose area, armpit) which I found distracting.
And last point which caused a downvote:
The facial expression of your model (or yourself if it is a selfportrait?) is too grave, almost arrogant. I would have prefered some mischievous grin, a winking eye - something more humourous - matching the distorted reflection which might remind the viewer of a distorting mirror at a funfair. But that is definitely a question of personal taste - I know professional models are not supposed to look friendly especially when presenting fashion.

Sorry - I didn't want to critizice too harshly but since you asked I thought it might be ok to say my opinion frankly. And I liked your photo good enough to give it a 6.
