renne the slow shutter speed might have worked - had the camera been braced so the movement was in the lion and the ball.
Instead the movement is camerashake (ie all over the picture), which makes it look like a mistake.
Always use a tripod or study table for shots with slow shutter speeds. 1/30s of a sec is often the very very slowest a photog can get away with without camera shake - and that is will a sturdy strong arm.

Thanks for all your comments! Guess this pic didn't quite convey what I was hoping for (the ball fleeing for it's very "life" but about to be caught anyhow, therefore "No Escape"). The slow shutter was purposeful, hoping the feeling of blurred movement would heighten the tension...but alas, the attempt didn't work. Oh well...maybe next challenge, eh? :)

I'm sure you were trying to make this blurry-kinda an artsy effect?

Interesting blur of motion, but I don't get the feeling of personification out of this image.

For me, the challenge rules stated using inanimate objects. Your photo shows a living species and therefore I have given it a low score.
