I guess you maxed out on the exposure. Closing the lens down, or an ND filter would have helped.

No, these are underexposed a little. Shadows were deep. In attempt to make shadows brighter I boosted overall brightness. Shadows are already at +100 in LR, whites and highlights at about -35. Then it's either to have face hidden in shadow or to make highlights look overexposed (but they are not blown in JPEG, 95% intensity max). Another choice would be local adjustments but I never had time to manage that.
