Hi! Ah, the inflatable icons of Christmas this year. They drove me nuts! :)
This is a decent shot overall but doesn't really jump out and stand out from the rest. The title tells me that this is a rare occasion that it's actually inflated and for the tacky side the deflated version might have worked much better. Having a flat snowman in your yard type thing.
You have a very wide crop on the sides yet very tight on the top and bottom. Maybe a more balanced crop would work with this, taking a bit more off the sides, especially the right side, cutting down on the distracting background.
The lighting is also a bit dark it seems seeing the bright patch of blue sky in the upper right corner.
The house is distracting in the background. I know you can't move it, LOL but maybe trying a different angle to shot from to still get your main subject but have a less distracting background? Or even at night, after the house lights are off and the snowman is still lit up?
I hope this helps.
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Crop is tight for my taste on the top and the bottom, but yes, this is what I call tacky. :-) A plastic snowman... actually I hate plastic stuffs. And without snow this makes me grin. :-) At last a good example that shows you don't have to make the photo itself tacky to represent tackiness. Good work.
sorry but there is really nothing about this photo that makes it stand out from the rest, basically to me it is just a snapshot of an inflatable snowman.
