Cosmic Photo Challenge: Distortion Using Contrast and Cropping

Dale offers the prompt “distortion” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I use the GIMP photo editor. It’s a free tool with many features I have not explored. I mainly use it to shrink the size of the image and rotate it a bit if I got the horizon wrong.

Here I am going to use the contrast feature of the editor along with cropping.

Here is the original.
I figured I could add contrast. I did and then brightened it a bit because it got pretty dark. It gets spookier the darker it gets.
I cropped the original, but this doesn’t distort it very much.
So I added enough contrast to make it spooky.
