(Acrylic on canvas) To darken the trees or leave them and change something about the foreground?

I've been fiddling with this one for a while- I can't quite make myself happy with the background (or the foreground, to be honest).

I like how the trees turned out shape-wise, but the color contrast to the darkness of the rest of the image didn't quite turn out how I had hoped, and I'm not sure where to go from here to improve it.

Also, please pardon my sad attempt at painting the fog/mist. Haven't tried that before and it... did not turn out great.

How to avoid bruising/injuring fingers from nippers?

This is probably a stupid question and I suspect the answer is going to be one part "buy new nippers" and one part "your hands are weak and sad", but I'm curious if anybody else experiences this and what I can do to stop having it happen because it's making trimming painful. I tried to take a photo but it won't show up- it's basically bruising at the joint closest to my nails that swells, and the finger goes numb for a few hours after trimming.

I just do my two horses (have been doing them for 6+ years) and as we are getting into drier season with harder hooves, I've given myself a hematoma/injured the last joint on my middle finger from squeezing on the nippers hard enough to actually cut off a chunk of foot. I might just need to buy new nippers and/or get mine sharpened, but I've had this happen a couple of times and want to know if there's some technique involved as well!
