Nice color spectrum, but I'm more curious about the landscape. It looks like it might be a beautiful area that is washed out by the intense sunlight. The green thing on the left side is also a little distracting.

Yes it's tacky alright but it's also out of focus. Composition is a little dull and flat.

Comment by wingy:
The lense flares are cool, but the rest of the shot has not detail due to the contrast, leaving it rather uninteresting overall. That's too bad because the beams of light in the background look like they offered a lot of potential, but thye just don't come through very strongly because the shot is completely dominated by the sun flare in the top right.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure good, composition is weak, focus is off, lighting is good.

Personal: Definitely could be considered tacky, but the centered placement and particularly the unsharpness bring this down.

My vote: 4

Tighter shot would have helped - although there's so much tackiness on the tree it's hard to leave any out ;)

I don't see what's so tacky. The composition is a bit busy and yet spread out too much. Perhaps if you'd focused on just one ornament?
