Shot only a few seconds apart from the Car 2 shot below, this image has a totally different feel. The perspective is a little lower and the processing is different, but it's the same car on the same day in the same weather. I think the importance of cropping is very evident here. With the slightly panoramic landscape here, the sense of mystery is created and the processing finished the story. The darkened edges emphasize the effect of the vast space and continuity of darkness.

Contrast this to the square crop below, which is much more documentary in style and the processing of the image was designed to serve that purpose.
