I would say that something is wrong with the metering system on the  
first one or you had exposure compensation set? But you can check it in  
the camera and retake it if wrong. Here is a good site with a simple  
explanation of using the in camera histogram:

understanding-histograms.shtml

The second shot just exceeds the exposure range of the sensor or of  
film for that matter. Actually the camera did a pretty good job doing a  
pic which preserves the most information. Just moving the center arrow  
in Photoshop levels to right a tad in levels in photoshop gets a nicer  
image. Someone backlit by  bright overcast sky is going to exceed the  
range of any photo. Flash fill might help but the low synch speed of  
1/180 second for both the E-1 and D100 limits that.
