How does the mind “see” abandoned ?
Curious to find out how others perceive the last two car images?
Any possible explanation?

[update: Interesting to see the results so far! I only wish I would see more explanations! I am still wondering.]
To me, the car in image 2 looks more abandoned. While the car in image 1 seems (spatially) to have somewhere to go forward, the car in image 2 is facing the end—an edge, line, margin, “cliff”—off the road, with nowhere to move forward.
I can only speculate why some would choose image 1. The space ahead which one person could see as positive, could also feel void and lonely, like showing up at a party where no one walks up to greet you. We can’t always explain why something moves us one way or another. It’s so interesting!! I hope someone else will try to describe their thinking or feeling that accompanies their choice.]

It is not a big difference; but the car in image1 has the space in front of him and therefore ‘a way to go’; In image 2 the car is beside the space and ‘off the road’, which for me is a bit more abandoned. See you, Marso.

Thank you, Harrie, for thinking about and describing it so well. I wondered if people would feel a difference simply based on position on the page.
