Some aesthetics categorically reject choice. Everybody else thinks deliberate choice by the artist is what makes art worthwhile. In these gif images, every pixel is chosen for its contribution to the whole. The source photo illustration isn't nearly so rigorous, and IMHO that's what makes it skillful to a point but totally pedestrian and uninteresting. A bit hard to look at, actually. YMMV of course.

Both images are very good. IMO the low-res version [1] has slightly better colors, while the high-res version [2] captures the cloudy weather a bit better, but they feel about equally appealing to me. Note that the high-res image is also very stylized for appeal rather than realism, no one would mistake it for a photo.
