This is totally something I would do because I love messing around with my pictures, but being that I'm in day two of the flu, the blurred lines made me queasy. I give you serious points for your pic causing physical effects on me. (or is it affects? Who knows, I'm sick)

Very interesting, but it make me woozy I'm afraid.

Nice idea, though. What bout trying to recreate a single direction blur in the background as this may make it look like he's going very fast & you're panning.

So I guess you managed to capture and create movement.
Oh, gosh. This is not the thing I should be viewing with a slight headache.

I second Kajo:

I like the effect and the photograph but I don't think it achieves the desired effect of showing the little guy's energy. I would have expected a blur on him with the rest fixed to make it work.

To me it is a little too strong. The idea is a good one though. When I look at it I think to myself move the blur out away from him a little and maybe soften the blur more? No idea if this makes sense or even can be done. Its just what my brain processes when I look at it

Wow... I'm feeling dizzy.

I agree that this seems to be the viewer running in towards the little guy. Feels a bit like a scene from a horror movie. But you have DEFINITELY made me feel a strong reaction, so major kudos there!
