Great pose and looks very sharp.  It does blend it very much with the background which is neat because it shows how great the camouflage is but also a little hard to see so I guess it depends what kind of photo you're going for how that might be treated.

Ana,
Thanks for your comment, I too would have preferred a cleaner background, normally they do this in long grass and you cannot see them
