Water Color effect, can someone show me what it is?

Randy, I wonder if the OP, like me has failed to see any of the so called bad examples as truly awful. I have looked at many images & some of my own(which were truly awful BTW) but I passed them (my images anyway) off as bad exposure choices, wind movement etc... There is no foliage at this time of year for me to test  where I live, save for some pine trees. The images I have with pine trees in the background do not seem offensive to me. But I must confess I have not intentionally tried to take a landscape with as much DOF as I can get nor am I likely to with the XE-1.

It is not my intention to dismiss what clearly is an issue to some, But I do not see that the OP was being snarky at all but perhaps wondering what all the fuss is about because he actually does not know.
