Motion Blur

Hits it down hard over the triple block.  I'm not sure if this is a win for blue or a fail for red.  If you can't tell, I like volleyball.

A Photoshop Instruction Summary:

~Select the portion you want to blur and copy into a new layer (ctrl+j).

~Apply a motion blur and adjust the angle/distance to your liking.  I did the arm and the ball as two different layers

~Group the blurred layer to a levels layer.  Paint or use black to white gradient on the levels layer to get rid of the excess blur.

~With the levels layer still selected, shift+click the blurred layer.  This selects them both.  Duplicate these layers to build up the blur.
