No, the problem is that I exposed for the darker area yet the shaded area is very dark. Other cameras did not have this problem.
Is there a color calibration of some kind that?

If you exposed this shot for the deepest shadows how did you keep the highlights from blowing out?

OK, this is my attempt to convert to B&W..... I feel uneasy about this after spending 'bout an hour on it! And yeah... sure coulda' used a bit'a fill flash in hindsight!

I'm not a people photographer...guess that's why I had to give this a go.
Took your original into ACR. Select sky...slight exposure drop...slight cool temperature...slight dehaze.
Duplicate & invert mask, subtract subject...slight exposure drop...slight warm temperature.
Select subject...slight increase exposure...moderately open shadows.
Nik Silver Efex Pro 3. Preset 005 High Structure (harsh).
P/S crop.
Topaz Adjust 5. Preset shadow recovery.
Topaz Vignette adjusted to taste, centered on girls.
P/S slight facial dodge both girls. Catch light dodge girl on left. Pupil dodge girl on right.
About 5 minutes in process and 10 minutes tracking and writing my workflow. Hope you will find some portions of my process of interest.

I am shooting some long exposure waterfalls this week and wondering whether I should turn off IS on my canon RF lens (using r6). Thanks.
I also disable IS when on my tripod. The N/D filter suggestion is always worthwhile when shooting waterfalls. I might suggest that you also make a series of bursts without the N/D filter. You can blend them in post to achieve a similar blur effect on the moving parts of your scene. This can be an effective work around for an occasion that you are without a tripod.

Great catch! It’s hardly worth stopping to bend over since a nickel ain’t worth a dime any more…but they did and you caught it. You own the street Voss

Lovely evocative image, and wonderful depth. Just ... (show quote)
Thanks for having a look Paul and your comment. The sunburst is real…the sky above the sunburst was shot a few days earlier near Dead Horse Canyon, UT…and masked in. I like your idea…could be just what I’ve been looking for to balance the sky lighting. Thanks

I agree with 13 on the 1st photo…if #2 were flipped so would my pick. Either way both are nice photos…thanks for sharing
