A sinister grove straight out of a horror movie - my picture transformed

For one of my recent projects, I needed a picture of a grove that would emanate with a sinister atmosphere, full of tension and stress, like it was a part of a horror movie.

I wasn't able to find a picture that would satisfy me, so i created my own. I went to a nearby grove, and I took this picture:

I used an Open Source software called Shotwell to edit the colors, exposure, hue, shades, and a few other parameters. The whole process took something around 10 minutes, and you can see the result here:

What do you think about the transformed image? Does it really look scary? :)
