I kinda like the blur and thought it would stand out :-)

Composition and angle are good, the blur would be also except that the background should be blurred more so than your subject. It's hard to look at the shoes because the blur on the leg is really messing with my eyes. This would be more effective if the shoes were slightly more visible.To get the background to blur as if in motion you need to do what is called "panning" which is focusing on your subject and moving your lens smoothly along with your subject , causing it stay more in focus than the background. I find this hard to do with the slow auto focus of digital cameras.
Too much motion for me. I am sure it was your intention, but for me is distracting in this shot. Would like to see some more of the artwork on the calf.
What I don't understand is that if this is suppose to be a walk, why does it look like the person's running? (No offense intended, just something I was wondering) The angle makes this picture kind of interesting, but I don't like how the shoes and the legs are all blurry.
