I am trying to give some beginners some quick tips to get them started and then keep building up from there with more advanced topics and tools. Thanks for the input. Thanks Jim,

If you had set the camera to Manual, you could have controlled the ratio between the strobe (highlight) side of the image and the shadow side by increasing or decreasing the shutter speed. There was probably little or no spill falling on the shadow side of the subject's face. But you could have controlled for it by changing shutter speed.
