But the background blurring doesn't match any reasonable theory on the lion's motion; the lion should be moving from rifht to left (and a bit of top to bottom), diagonally opposite to the apparent motion blur in the background. If this is a photoshop effect, I'd suggest changing the axis so it looks proper for background motion blur while you were panning with the motion of the lion.

Good idea, but not well executed. Need the lion to be sharp if you're going to manipulate the bkgrd; plus, there are all sorts of artifacts on the left (as viewed) side of the lion's face.

Nice picture
