What I seeoto, in the Moab, UT photo, is a little overuse of saturation but, mostly, of what is called Unsharp Mask, whis is used to emphasize contrast at the pixel level, to accentuate delineation of details. Overuse can give a look of such precision and contrast in the details (more than the human eye can actuelly see in real life) that the overall feeling gets artificial. That, plus the use of a moderate wide angle lens, also gives the background as much precision as the foreground, so it looks as much in focus, and it is not very natural. But, hey, photo retouching is also a form of art, thus it is a subjective matter.
