Landscape - ground emphasis

This picture was taken in my yard . It was taken October 22, 2010. The setting was on scene and on lanscape. The flash is off.

I eliminated the posts gaurding the trees and the yellow cord under the net.  This photo is the ground emphasis because the ground shows more than the shy.

In this photo I changed the the hue/saturation. I think this photo is better because the posts in the back are gone, color of the grass is green, the sun is shining, and the pretty net in the background.
