Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E again to make another new layer from all visible and apply a 4 px Gaussian Blur. Change it’s blend mode to Soft Light. Lower the opacity to 25%.

Finally add new layer and using the Clone Stamp tool make the scythe wooden handle longer. Than select a soft black brush at 5% opacity and paint some pools of blackness to further increase the moodiness of the scene. And you’re done.
