Yes, but not always .... See the transformation in the one with the red fire engine !!
I've wondered if there could be shadow cast directly behind by the on-axis flash, that might explain the dark rim on the grass just behind, but not of course the rim higher up where there's nothing behind her for 1/2 a mile or so! Strange. Possibly something I messed up when processing,
Anyway, I'm glad you have found the images interesting .....HSS opens up more possibilities and helps us create images with rebalanced lighting and strong tonal depth by being able to optimize the exposure of both background and subject.
