Big change. Foreground focus. Background blur, perhaps a bit overdone.
I've experimented with the technique before, with limited success. It worked a little better on this trip. It's amazing how much a little blur can enhance a photo, and take your eye in the right direction.
I've read of ways to accomplish the same thing through photo editing software, and I might try that down the road. However, my camera has all sorts of settings. I might as well learn them and do it the right way.
