It's the difference between good and bad light.

In the first (black monkey) you have a lot of light between the leaves falling right into your lens. Bad backlight. The second (white monkey) has good quality light. Photography is all about light.

this.

The OP, like a lot of neo-photographers, spends to much time on camera settings and not enough time learning about light.

Does no one take art classes any more to learn this stuff?

Sounds like using a hammer to crack a nut to me. It is fundamentally a technical issue of camera dynamic range limitations and learning to try to work around them.
