Big, plastic drummer boy
by lilnukee

Comment:
Surely these internally lighted plastic blobs embody the spirit of "tacky." This is a nice rendition - the light of the drummer boy clearly comes from within, and the background lights are just enough to give a sense of place without competing with him.

Tacky, yes, but also a very pretty photo, with good detail and a nice range of colors, particularly in the glass decorations around her (which also look pretty tacky).

Sailin' Santa

Comment:
You may have found the tackiest decoration around, but the photo quality doesn't bring him out. Why not focus or crop tightly around Santa? IMHO he also needs more exposure; he is almost grayed out.

This is a pretty decoration, not at all tacky - at least not to these Western eyes. It's a nicely lighted and clearly detailed picture, and the decoration is interesting, so I'll rate it that way and give it a 7.

A nice, clear shot of a ghastly decoration.

I like the overall effect of this photo, but I think the point of sharp focus should be on the figures, not on the lights in the foreground. If the soft focus was intentional, the lights should have been shifted (they probably should have been shifted anyway). Another possibility would have been to use a soft-focus lens or one of the many makeshift equivalents, or to add the blur in the computer later.

Very pretty photo. Is this a lighted decoration on display outdoors or something smaller. The lack of scale makes me keep looking at it and in the process appreciating the variety of shades and details.

Sponge Bob

Comment:
Sponge Bob is tacky enough, and the background is soft enough to make him stand out. A little more green in the branch in the foreground might have been nice.

Very cute decoration, and I like the star burst effect on the lights.

This photo really conveys the sense of tightly-packed, narrow houses, while the color and lighting give it something of the quality of a painting.
