I know what you are trying to show him by lighting the foreground, but it would not work in this case because of the depth and distance of the grass foreground. The flash will only light so far and so much that it would not match. It would work only with a much smaller flash to subject distance. There are no rules for a good photograph and there are no excuses for a bad one.

You are correct, thought, that this subject is fairly distant...
