I thought this very cunning, and my favourite of the non horseflesh.

Not a typically expected horse shot but the objects within the composition is still a horse. These Dala Horses are lined up to the effect that they appear like real horses waiting in line for riders to come. The colors are bold. The classic red of the dala horses really pops visually off of the black backdrop. While it is a strength of the the composition that the horses are lined up in such a way as a leading line to the vanishing point it is also a weakness of the composition. For it to truly lead the eye as a leading line off to the horizon (vanishing point) the last horse should have been placed more to the back. As it is here it is lined up next to the third horse. Placement of the horses on a leading line would have really strengthened the visual interest. Next the angle & crop could have played that up the leading line theme as well as increased the visual interest of the composition. The horse in the forefront has it's legs appearing to be hanging in midair while there is a lot of empty negative space where the horse in the back is. A lower angle instead of a straight & level shot could have had the horse in the forefront dominating the scene while the line of horses leading to the back might have been captured at a greater diagonal angle. The crop, either in composing it while shooting or after in post-processing, should be that the legs in the forefront horse touchs the lower left corner. The horse in the far back would be (or close to being depending on how well the angle of the shot worked) in the upper right corner. The crop in this way it would seem to have the dala horses travel in a diagonal line from front to back across the composition.

A different idea which is always good.
Nice colour but Id rather see a deeper DOF.
