It would be better to use a motion blur instead of gaussian blur.
That way, we would know that the well is going upwards.

I was scrolling down and hadn't yet read the bottom text and it felt like the well was going downwards.

    Pretty sure that's motion blurred more or less vertically

    So I zoomed in to make sure and realised there is nothing to make sure, with what the image compression seems to be doing.
    And then I zoomed out to normal, then blocked the lower half and looked at the upper half and it looks like it is dropping straight down. Then I blocked the upper half and looked at the lower half and it looks like it is going straight up.

    So, I guess you need to be scrolling from down to up to be able to get the illusion of it escalating instead of dropping.

    Proper motion blur is bidirectional, from a freeze-frame you can only tell the axis the object is moving along (parallel to the escalator) but you can't determine the direction (up or down the escalator). Unless the picture was taken with an actual camera that has known quirks that give you more information, like rolling shutter or something similar.

    Well, I don't really remember seeing motion blurred pictures.
    Only saw motion blur in games, so I guess that part I am not good at.

    But last I tried applying motion blur in an image editor (it was Paint.NET iirc), it was pretty unidirectional.
