Gold in the shadows

I recently had an outdoor photo shoot were had the option to have the subject in the sun or the shadows. The better result was in the shadows. I used spot metering set to the largest point. The shots taken in the shadows are dramatically better. In both cases I have used spot metering to expose for the face.
The first image in mixed direct light and shade, the second image in in pure shade
