This shot is a decent candid, you positioned your model nicely using the rule of thirds. His pose and the act of him smoking really adds to the candidness of the photo. There is some nice contrasting between him and the background as well.

However, I do think in my opinion, there are a few things that you can try to enhance the photo further. Firstly, your blacks are to dark. If you look at his hat it almost disappears into the shadows, also the pin stripes on his suite are not as evident as the could be if you gave a bit of a contrast boost.

The other thing that I would suggest is not to have the horses snoot in the frame, or add enough so that the horses are easily identifiable. The white on the horses snoot competes for attention due to the brightness it. The horses are out of focus which is good, but there isnt enough in the frame for the eye to quickly identify it as a horse and will slow the viewer from proceeding inward past until figureing out what they are.
