I have seen like 100,000,000 "played straight" versions of that trope, and only one (maybe two?) "in reality" versions. Especially as an image editor who is really annoyed by the unrealistic-but-widespread Enhance Button trope, I like the "in reality" version.

I love the image we have now. I think most of everyone has seen the trope at play—the Reality Ensues picture adds funny to the scenario.

Not always. We have plenty of images who play with the trope, or are puns. See Beach Combing

The image isn't bad, but ... why is it depicting a Reality Ensues version of the trope? It would be a lot funnier if we had an image playing the trope straight. Affectionate Parody versus Deconstruction, in a way.
E.g. if we replaced the "after" portion with a thumbnail of the Mona Lisa or something....
