You will notice that when I controlled the exposure, the highlights on the shoulders blew out. But I had to make a decision. I didn't want to lose the exposure on the face. In the second one where the camera did all of the work, the face comes in darker, but the highlight details in the shoulders was preserved.

Notice also the position of the sun. YIKES! Almost overhead.

All in all, I was very happy with my day of shooting, and I made enough money to pay for my 30D.
