Watercolor filter - too much or just right?

Sometimes the watercolor effect can resemble heavy noise reduction with oversharpening, like a typical digicam photo. It doesn't in this case, though. It looks to me like you excluded the chairs from the effect, is that right? Personally, I prefer oil on canvas effect. []

I did not exclude the chairs, they were very "flat toned" in the original as well. I tried oil on canvas and didn't quite like the way the foliage and the trunk looked.
