Lets start with a photo. I used one of an eagle here, but this will work with any picture.
Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur to apply a blur to the entire image
I used a setting of 52 and set the angle to 0 to create a horizontal movement effect.
Here is the result, an entirely blurred image. Don't panic, I am about to show you how to undo just the portions of the image that you choose.
In the tools palette, choose the History brush.
With a soft brush begin to paint over the eagle and you will notice that the unblurred version is being restored. You can shange the size of the brush by pressing the [ and ] keys.
And there you have your picture of the eagle with a rapid sense of movement implied.
