It looks like a still from a horror movie.
As a photo, the top right branch could be removed for a more calm sight.
It kinda interferes with the photograph.

If you want to "gfx", you can try photoshopping that away.
Even if it's only to see what I mean, it's good practice.

You put some kind of "paint" filter over it?
The snow looks a bit weird.

Also, if you want CnC on something like this, it's best if you post the original so we can see what you changed.

there were no mosaic filters / cheap cartoon filters applied here

only curves, and color adjustments used so far.

It's not horrible, it's just simple.
I wouldn't class this as "gfx", more like a simple edit.

Something that kind of makes me scratch the top of my head is how you got it so god damned grainy? What is your iphones ISO settings, really dark outside? Grain is artistic, in some pictures, but here it just mixes with the lack of a focus point that it's kind of annoying and makes you concentrate.

Also, I'll have to ask you to add the software used.

That's just the iPhone's way of reacting to an absent of light.
If you're wondering how to make grain, my favorite way is duplicating the artwork and setting the layerstyle to "dissolve" @ 10%, more if you want more grain,
less if you want less. Then you convert said layer to a Smart Layer and set that layer to either "colour dodge" or "screen".
This is in Photoshop but I'm sure you can do it in other programs too.
