Circles vs. Lines

I am sure nobody wants to see a winter image in the spring, but please bear with me. Recently, I have been experimenting out-of-focus and playing with bokeh. The top image is out-of-focus image, and the bottom one is on-focus image. Which do you like better?

Snow in the spring

I went hiking 1 month ago in Kananaskis country, Alberta. It was snowing…quite strongly. The hiking was basically regaing strength after a long winter…sitting on a computer. But I was still snapping and when it is snowing, that excites “normal” photographers.
