OK, I hope this helps explain what I meant by "he looks short proportionally."
An average human male has a 9" tall head. Your guy looks like he has an average sized head (maybe a tad small proportionally but it looks good).
Here's a link to Harvard to back up the 9" thing. It's elsewhere on the web, too.

So with that in mind, I attached an image measuring out Lucas, using the exact pixels in the image you posted. He comes in just shy of 5'7". You may have him scaled taller in Poser, but 5'7" would be his proportional height. (It also supports RorrKonn's eyeball theory because an approximation of the size of the eyeball in the socket looks to be right at an inch, so he's right around 67 eyeballs - lol.)
That doesn't take into account camera angle or any fisheye effect that might be going on in your render. It looks pretty much like a nondistorted render (?).
Does this help at all? I hope it does. (insert sheepish smile here)
Given the height, the inseam looks nice & proportional. The waist might be a tad narrow. I couldn't measure the feet based on the angle. I can put other measurements on there if you'd like. (like width of thigh, etc.)
Other than that, the best test is to measure a real, live human man with similar structure...or do the same thing I did with a reference photo.
