I think the big difference in regard to the unprofessional vs. semi-shopped vs. fake is just in the finishing. The difference is in having the photos color corrected, balanced, 'framed' and finished to create a 'real' photo that looks like the person, but is done to maximize the results of the photograph.
If you can tell someone has been altered to change their appearance - bad. If it seems like it's a picture your friend shot haphazardly with their phone- bad. You need the middle ground that just enhances the affect of the photo. Similar to make-up...it's the same person, just maximized to highlight positive features and downplay less positive features.
(This is all based on pure theory, not your particular photos!)
