Hello, Rajesh:

Welcome back to RetouchPRO.

Quite honestly I can't tell if either has been manipulated.

I suppose the second picture was painted but because of too much details i feel u could not differentiate it from the original photograph. Loss of resolution also might have contributed. I shall try and post another version for the perusal.

This one looks more painted, Rajesh, for sure. You are going in the right direction.
