Some rather unsubtle Paintshop editing on the second shot?

I would edit with smaller adjustments if I was attempting to modify a pic, in order that the effect is less noticeable. Try blowing the picture up more in your browser and then working with a smaller brush, checking back that the full size picture is acceptable before adding more adjustment if necessary. Sometimes altering only a few pixels at a time.

Post production changes can take a long time to achieve a smooth less obvious effect, but the finished article will then shine through.
