so what did I do wrong here?
other than taking a photo before shooting him.

1. Put the guy's face dead center in the frame. Almost half of the picture is devoted to the trees in the background.
2. Got him when the light was shining on his ear.

Getting closer to him probably would have made for a better composition as well. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough" and all that.

Should of had him more natural with the background, in that picture he's very, to say "odd" and "out of place".

What>>49280said and put him by a tree or bush.

Could light his face, and not the side of it. A little too much headroom, could move a bit closer. And also depends on what look you're going for. I guess it'd be alright if you were just taking a digital camera out and just doing point and click. If you were going for a certain look angles would help. Like to say he's larger than nature, down looking up, like he's lost in the forest, downwards looking at him.

All of the things already said, plus the most major thing of all, which no one has said... perspective! An over the shoulder shot would not only be more exciting, dynamic, what-have-you, but also give the photo some context.

What is he shooting? we wonder. A wild, wandering jew perhaps? A subhuman? A sub-subhuman (known to others as "deer" or "wildlife")?
