I like no. 1 although perhaps crop the sky out of the picture to concentrate on the street /people/cars.

I see you captured another photographer with a long lens in the scene.

I didn't turn the AF off but once I had focused I kept the shutter release half down.
Ok then you should expect the two images to be identically focussed.

Without being able to compare the two images we can only guess at the reason. Perhaps the OOF shot was because the AF was not able to get a good lock due to lack of contrast. It does happen.

post the pictures and tell us where you set the AF selective point.

And that was as far as I got.
Pentax support at it's finest. If it were a new company starting today it would not last five minutes.

Anyway why do you want the outdated software ? I have never installed any Pentax software since I bought my DS in 2003

I find Flickr a very useful bug free utility. I hope it continues as it is.

Lovely warm colours here, but if there were one criticism it would be that the building itself is left looking a bit cold and unloved.

i know that is the nature of the shot with the light behind it.

That is what "retrospectives" are all about
