This was part of an elaborately decorated block of 4 houses, jackpot of tackiness! I thought that these big plastic drummer boys that guarded the gate were the best.
All I did for editing was increase the contrast slightly to make the dark, darker and the bright a little brighter and sharpen to define the edges more. Then I cropped to get rid of some of the distractions and resized for the challenge.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Nice lighting of close-up shot. It's not so tacky for me, maybe it was the photographic skill that made it look classy. 7

It's tacky enough but I would have scored it hire if the whole head was better lit - the had gets lost in the background

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.

Looks perfectly hidious! Would have liked to see less light in the background. The "thing" to the right of his face is distracting.
