Too Much Blur?

[Mulski]

Hi folks, first post so please be gentle, but neverthless candid. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong location for the post.

Anyway, as a motor enthusiast I'm always looking for a different perspective (composition?) for my shots and the picture below is of a colleagues new set of alloys. After reviewing it, noticed it was slightly out of true and also quite, plain?, so attempted to alter it by applying a depth of field filter in Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo and cloning one of the wheel nuts (lugs for the US folk). Anyway, would like to hear your thoughts on whether there is just too much blur. Or any other thoughts gratefully accepted.

Looking forward to sharing and learning

I like the first one better! The spokes are a lot clearer, and in the second one just look too blurred.

+1 for me also.
