Needs more vegetation
Can't tell if it's built off a Viper Veil base for a base platform.
Have a base ghillie of just MC doesn't give much colour variation to work with to customise to the local area and will rely heavily on the ability to add local vegetation to help blend it better rather than just relying on the roughness of the suit to break up the bodily shape.
As you can see from a couple of ghillie's that I've made up, it utilises the earth tone underside of the material to give aid to the complexion of the breakup, and using the DPCU pattern is really suited to the average Aussie bush and grasslands as compared to the more greenish bases used in the MC pattern
I am by no means a professional ghillie maker, and every ghillie should be made that it is adaptable to the AO that it will be used in. Whether you buy a store-bought job or build it from the ground up, there is a lot of man-hours invested in a suit or hood, if you choose to sew the material on and tear it as I did for the ones below, or you individually tie each strand of jute or torn material onto the mesh or net base you are using. It's a good job to keep your hands busy while watching a movie
Here's a basic ghillie I made for my rifles: (Instagram filter applied )
Here's a custom hood I made up for a soldier with ATACS coloured jute attached to it:
And here are some pics that a customer sent me of the basic hood I made for him:
