A freshly placed blind is hard to smooth into the existing environment no matter what you do. Yes I agree that some blending with native branches and such helps but I see guys who go and butcher branches off of trees all around their new blinds not thinking that the deer notice things like that also. I prefer to bring in accessory cover from elsewhere or place blinds in one of my prefered places - just behind a deadfall or in tall grass/weeds.
Now as to your set up there. Me? Man I would be trying to find an tree for a tree stand down by those pines at the end of that fields. (Curious.......what is beyond the cornfield after those 30 yards?)
Something tells me you may find some decent sign of bedding in those pines, too.
I would say look to put a stand or 2 in the trees near the blind's current position but I can't see what those tree's branches look like above the picture.
But number 1 is locating the trails into/out of those fields and setting up nearby where you can watch those trails.
