No camo or anything (other than on my backpack) - just my hiking clothes and a hat.

It's a challenge with these kinds of pictures to balance blending in while still being visible to the people looking at the photo. The line between a camouflage shot and just a picture of the forest is pretty narrow.

Seriously. I thought I saw the person in the thumbnail, but when i open the picture it's just a blobby bunch of pixels.

Turns out I was right, the blobby pixels are the person. I think OP took the picture on an iPhone and then texted it to an Android phone, then compressed it into a jpeg (pronounced jpheg), then printed the picture, scanned it on an HP ~~shitbox~~ Deskjet all-in-one, took a screenshot of the resulting scan, pulled the HDD and dropped it down some stairs, recovered the file, took another picture of the preview thumbnail in Windows Vista file explorer with an HTC HD7 running stock Windows OS 7.5, and posted it here

Or maybe my phone sucks. I don't know, I'm a moron

It's taken with DJI Mini 4K which doesn't perform that well in low light.

It's interesting though. It's immediately obvious to me where I am because I know it so it's really hard to judge how difficult it is to tell for someone who doesn't know. I can aswell spot myself in the thumbnail.
