It is very hard to determine something as under or over exposed.  The
reason is that the light is really what you are trying to control.
This is what makes or breaks your photo.  So you have to decide what
you want the light to look like in relation to your subject and then
expose for that.  Is a silouhette underexposed?

This particular shot is very near what the scene looked like with my
eyes.

Not sure if that answers your question or not.  I guess I am trying to
say that exposure is one of the key factors to a photograph.
Therefore, it should always be the exposure that you choose to make
the image what you envision.  On that front, no matter what the
exposure, it is the correct exposure.

BL> Bruce, a question, if you permit. Is this shot underexposed? I don't
