These are too pretty to be tacky. I'm not sure what the significance of the jugs in the foreground is, but to me it doesn't really explain the sense of tacky and it does take away from the colors and metallic textures of the decorations. IMHO if the point is that metal trees are inherently tacky, the tree limbs should have been more prominent.

Leave it to starbucks. Tacky tacky tacky. Tho those thermoses are pretty elegant... Nice composition, I'd like to see a color difference between the background and the thermos wrap and - if possible - wiping down the reflective surfaces so that the fingerprints aren't so distracting. Seems like a slightly noisy photo, too (high ISO setting?). Good eye.

I'm not sure what you did to the colors, but the edge really looks red, and all the trucks I've seen always have it on white.

Sorry I missed this the first time around. It really does convey the feeling of joy one can have even when all alone - or maybe especially when all alone. By including so much of the shoreline, you convey that feeling of aloneness and the sense of freedom that goes with it.

This would have been much better if the vehicle was clean and shiney.
