I like the bottom one, though the chain in the background disturbs the nice geometry of the bolt. The DOF is interesting, but IMO it's a little to shallow... Losing a little too much information too quickly there. Try using a tripod so that you can slow down the shutter a little more, hence increasing the DOF.
The top photo might have been good, but is way too soft, borderline blurry, for me.
