Good shots. I always adhere to expose to the right, particularly when
there's bright light and deep shadow. When you can't capture it all I
think most people will prefer that the detail be lost in the shadow and
not in the highlights. At least I do. Those that don't agree can go
shoot their own pictures. :-)
The exception, of course, is HDR where we'll try to capture is all via
some trickery. :-)
