It's a neat picture the way it is, though a little less blur would be good. Often this type of thing is shot at a high enough speed that the person is frozen in mid action like something out of a Magic Boomerang episode. People don't see that way, and it doesn't look real that way. This looks real, in a needing glasses sort of way.
