This photo looks like it comes out of an old horror film. It has an erie look to it like it is cluing you into something that is going to happen, but you don’t know what. It has a sense of mystery, like there could be people in the back of the picture and you just have no idea.
I notice that all the trees are leaning slightly to the right; This also contributes to the off-balance, eerie feel of the photo.
