A Blast From the Past

I found this Fisher Price wooden horse toy abandoned on a lone sidewalk. They don't make things out of wood these days so I thought it was quite a rare find. I wonder if it was really abandoned there or did some kid have the trust enough to leave it there? Under the shade of the car next to it, I decided to try and zoom in on it to get a good shot. The one above is the zoomed out view while the one below is zoomed in. I tried to frame it with the rule of thirds in mind but I guess I was kind of off? Again, it's rather hard to try and get a truly unfocused background when you can't go lower than F3.5. In the extra sunny conditions, I had to go up to F8.0 to get some of my pictures to not be so overexposed. It's really a trial sometimes to wrestle your settings into place when you're new to this. Anyone which one is better?
