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.

Yes, learning about light.

FFS, a one semester art course at the local community college will set a person up for life.

That is fine if you have the time. Personally, there is no way in the world I could fit it into my schedule and there are lots of things ahead of it in the queue even if I had the time.

The OP's issues could be dealt with in a few paragraphs. This is a broader issue than photography. Signing up for one semester courses every time you need a few paragraphs of explanation to solve a problem will give you a very busy schedule.
