I imagined myself using AF-S (K-3), holding the shutter button halfway down and recomposing. Actually, I would have probably narrowly missed the focus. :(

With y'all's responses, y'all [sic] convinced me that the first photo is more interesting. Jack, while I do not remember for sure that I didn't do a manual touch (I like 60-250's "quick-shift" manual focus override), it was on AF. And, as many others, I frequently use the technique where I use the central-point AF, lock the focuse on the subject and reposition.
