like the others said, climb high enough to get concealment and choose trees that offer it...

dont pick the telephone pole that doesnt have anything around it and its canopy is 40ft higher than you wanna climb...but pick trees that have a branch or some structure right about the level you wanna climb...and i like to pick trees that have other trees real close by...i actually hang my pack and most my gear from other trees when i can get so lucky...i really like to be covered all around..i even like a tree infront of me if i can get it close by...all i need is a few holes....i have trouble sitting VERY still...but i know ive been busted more on movement than scent...im starting to get wiser about picking trees...at first when i first started using a climber i wasnt comfortable having cover "might mess up a shot" blah blah...but learned that its better to have it...if you do it all right, that cover will be your best friend...

the background is critical IMO...if your silloetted your gunna get busted...you gotta blend in...squirrels, leaves, etc all move a little up there..just gotta have that back ground to break you up...and i like it behind/to the sides for those sneaky deer that sneak in from the sides or behind me...
