I agree with him for this problem - if you aren't going to do the
correction in post. As you say, you have to shoot to avoid losing the
highlights. Enough flash to be useful on the woman and especially the
dog would mess with the light on the water, much of which is closer than
the other subjects. Once you start thinking about masking the flash from
the water, you are back in "Don't take....".
With a full size, 16 bit scan at 2700 or more dpi, you can pretty much
do whatever you want with the light.
