I like the upper part just fine. There's something odd about the legs. Maybe it's because a naked hip under a gunbelt is incongruous or unexpected, so it needs more contrast (or something?) to be properly perceived. My eyes started with the face, then ran down the east side of the picture. They didn't "understand" the left leg at first. I had to go westward, figure out that the part under the gun was a naked hip, then come back to the left leg. Of course, if this sort of double-take is what you want, then it works perfectly!
