Here's a tip I once used to fool my friends and family:
Plant as many more trunks as you have already trees, but behind and among the trees already there. This will increase the size of your forest greatly. I was planting on a ridge line and just stuck a dozen twigs in the hillside, followed by as many actual trees. My friend wondered how I had managed to make so many trees so quickly, and was impressed when I pulled a few of the real trees out to reveal the trunks.
In your case against a backdrop you could even just paint an area as high as the forest a darker color with a few trunks painted on and a few twigs planted infront for an effective illusion.
Looks great!
