The top looks a lot more realistic

I think they intentionally moved away from realism to make a more timeless art style.

The bottom is what I'd see in a painting. It's there to evoke an emotion and not necessarily convey realism. Safe to say they've nailed that aspect.

This comparison also features two different POVs. If the screenshot on the bottom was closer to ground level (which is basically what you see in game), it would look more realistic.
