technically, the first one is the best.
because the others two has blur in the foreground and it is not beutiful when you will print the pictures in a big format.
the blurry parts should be cropped, IMHO. its just something like a blot, like a dirt part. i was shooting like this too, but then i found it out, that it is just a mistake. really.... but anyway many people do this. and i have this opinion on this. i will not buy a picture with this kind of thing. +)
