This is a moody kind of shot. I admire your willingness to try something "artsy!"
The lighting you chose shows some interesting texture to this. I see some have suggested a lighter bg to make the subject stand out. That would be a nice alternative, but I think this makes it a little more mysterious. Having backlight could prove interesting though.

You've completely avoided digital noise and artifacts. Great job!! In a picture with this much darkness, that is no easy feat.

Composition is very good with good diagonals and good use of negative space. If I'd change anything, compositionally, it would be to include the entire legs of the horse. Not a major problem though.

Dof is excellent with all the highlighted features clearly focused.

Overall, I like this as it is. Experimenting with lighting suggested by several commenters would also be a worthy endeavor.
Good job Autool!
Regards,

Grayce

Comment by tomzinho:
neat. i wish i knew what you were melting. the flame almost looks like a spotlight, and this looks hazardous for your camera ;-) you might have boosted the saturation to bring the blue and red out a little more.
