Your second one looks better for the foreground.Does Picassa have a Lasso tool? What I would do first is isolate the top from the foreground and get it close to what the foreground is. Most likely a levels would do it. Then you can adjust the upper and lower end at the same time. I was going to try messing with it but the photo on here is too small.

OMG, Thank you Joves! I struggle with levels everytime I use it, all it seems to do is destroy the rest of the photo when I'm trying to just adj. one area. "Lasso tool....." That's the piece I've been missing but when I read this the lightbulb went on..... I use Corel Paint Shop ProX2. I just "fixed" a pic that's been bugging me all day. Thank you so much... Whoo Hoo!

I used Picasa (no lasso tool). Just bumped up the fill light, then the shadows a bit, clicked and took the default saturation, then the sharpen at about a quarter of the way across.
Putting this back out to see the difference.
In think iy was overuse of saturation on this one, Not necessarily the sharpness.
If you have not done a save in Picasa, you can back out all the changes (and even after a save you can often "unsave".
