You comosition is better here in that it keeps you from moving out too quickly.

If I read your comment correctly you wanted the left-most fixture to be the focal point? You also wanted to emphasize that by placing the other two out of focus? That is OK just be careful not to use too much 'out-of-focus' or the blur will become a distraction.

Thanks Clock for your help and knowledge.
