Don,
One thing to try in such a situation might be to experiement with a
second flash mounted on a slave cell somewhere or moved around by an
assistant that highlights the back of you subject and sets it apart
from the dark background. I think this could have really added to
Carlos' already great picture.
Unfortunately if there are a lot of people taking flash pictures they
would constantly set off your slave unit. Solution is to buy a radio
trigger which gets more expensive...

I also had wondered about using flash against a non-reflective
background. I would suppose that the subject occupied enough of the
sensor angle of coverage that it responded and didn't over-expose.
I have a set of lenses for my old faithful 283 but almost never use
them. Of course all the newer flashes are variable focus units,
however I don't know whether the light sensors have a fixed reception
angle or not and any documentation I had for the unit is long gone, 5
house moves and one city move back.
Actually I have an extension cable for the sensor and also a remote
trigger but never use them, because taking a picture becomes a whole
production process. Maybe for studio use, but not for casual
shooters like me.
