It's not clear to me what exactly's going on in this photograph. It's bronze statues, but what are they doing?

Very psychadelic! It makes it look a bit surreal.

Very striking photograph, and professionally executed, but doesn't look like she's actually trying to move anything...

Hmmmm. Covering up contacts sounds a bit dubious to me. The manufacturers surely don't handicap their own units for marketing reasons.

A good description of using high speed sync can be found at
//www.rpphoto.com/howto/view.asp?articleID=1026

To quote:
A standard hotshoe flash gives out a very short pulse of light. The flash duration can vary from around 1/1,000 second to 1/50,000 sec or shorter. The less light that's needed, the shorter the duration

Depending on whether there is significant ambient light you'd see little difference between a flash shot at 1/30 and 1/500.

Firstly - great shot!

I have a technical question:

How did you light your subject? Flash? I'm asking because 1/1000 is faster than the D200's x-sync speed (unless using High-Speed Sync), but at ISO 125 at F7.1 you surely had too little light without flash.

However, not using High-speed sync at a slower shutter speed (like 1/200) would also have frozen the splash, since the actual duration of the flash's light pulse is very quick.
