waterfowl is obviously different, because their eyesight is amazing
field and stream? agreed, breaking up the outline is crucial. that is why i don't like darker paterns, makes you look like a gorilla. you won't see this guy in mossy oak break up for that reason! IMO seclusion is a little better, but still along the same lines of too dark. most of the camo patterns are made to catch hunters in the store, rather than work in the field unfortunately.
