We are trying to do a query based on finding points that lie within a circle, but it is not working  
filters.Add(fq =\> fq.GeoShapeCircle(c =\> c.Name("circle\_query").Boost(1.1).Field(p =\> p.Location).Coordinates(new GeoCoordinate(latitude, longitude)).Radius( "1000m").Relation(GeoShapeRelation.Intersects)));

However, a Distance query, such as the following works fine. Any one know why?  
filters.Add(fq =\> fq.GeoDistance(c =\> c.Name("distance\_query").Boost(1.1).Field(p =\> p.Location).Distance(1000, DistanceUnit.Meters).Location(new GeoLocation(latitude, longitude))));

Kind Regards
