In answer to your further questions - the image gave no indication or clue that you were trying to show motion or a sense of direction. It did give every indication that you were trying to capture the creature with detail hence the answers you have received. Bigger in the frame or crop it so we can see the detail you are trying to show us, seems to be all respondents answers.

With the knowledge that you were trying to show motion and a sense the direction of motion I don't think the photograph is very successful.

Suggestions for future: Try shooting with a slower shutter speed to get some motion blur. Use second curtain synchronised flash to get a blurred trail of where the creature has come from with a sharp image of the creature at the end of the trail. If you have a flash gun that has a strobe setting try this to get a series of captures of the creature as it moves across the background.

HTH.

 

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
