Love793: I have a feeling that farmboy's comment was made in jest...
peguin, looks more like the bottom of a boot to me, you could be right though...

This picture is both a demonstration of good camo, and bad camo
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/gt102/ftx2.jpg
On the left - good
-------------------------
Minimal skin showing
colors that blend in with backround (minus that red cap on the flashlight)
figure is broken up (around head and legs[cant really tell, but I have camo netting on back])
On the right - bad (but still a good WO ;D)
------------------------
face is completely exposed.
unatural colors, red and yellow hood. White shoes
figure is not broken up

Good cam can be incredibly effective... I was standing sentry one night at a mid-sized CP complex. We had a small gate in the barbed wire, and I was standing in the spot where we sentries had been standing for the last week... it was around midnight...
I watched some officer leave the CP, go to the portapotties across the street, and come back... because I had watched him walk all of the 10 feet to the portapottie, I didn't bother to challenge him...
As he re-rentered the wire, he started looking around for somthing.. "Now where is that darned sentry?"
I was standing about four feet away, leaning on a tree, all I had on was cadpat and face paint, wasn't even wearing any foiliage, but he still couldn't see me... when I stepped forward and said "Yes sir?" he nearly pooped... goes to show how important movement or lack there of is.
[Edit: I've also got a picture of me in a defensive at the same exercise... I didn't actually realise I was *in* the picture until somone pointed out that the tree was wearing glasses...]

"I'd probably instruct my cadets where to put which colour on their faces, (dark under eyes, nose ect,) and allow them to go hide in the bush somewhere. I'd let them make mistakes - and then I would correct them. (I always found I learned more when I made mistakes.)"~ Lexis
If I recall properly, you want to do the exact opposite of what nature does to your body in order to break up your outline.
Allow me to explain.
In other words place LIGHTER shades of colour in areas that would be naturally shaded under normal lighting, such as under eyes and nose.
And darker colour on areas that tend to be lighter under normal lighting conditions, such as cheekbones, forhead etc.

What it is, is the cordura patches that are sewn onto the front. After these photos were taken I spray painted the patches in camo and added longer burlap down the sides of my legs so this would not happen again.
As for the discussions on the face paint - the eyes and mouth area (under nose) are light and high features on your face, cheek bones, nose, chin, forehead should be dark. However break these colours up as well, meaning you can have green running through the brown or black on your face.
Ah, and the rifle comment, like mentioned, was in jest.
