One of his most famous photos is the woman in the gold dress emerging from a limousine and caught with slow shutter speed and flash to have a combination of movement and sharpness. Your statement didn't limit the magazine's now allowing blur to nature photos. So maybe I read into it more than you meant, but I don't think their photo editors would make a distinction - and do seem to remember a lot of nature photos with lots of blue. Like the essay several years ago on the Okavango forest in Africa. And some photos Chris Johns took in Africa. To stop that, I would suspect that regardless of flash or shutter speed or both would be at least 1/2000 sec. Maybe even faster. And yes, flash can be used with that fast - with a Hasselblad. :-) I have a feeling this isn't the last we'll hear about this if it turns out to be faked.
