Great concept, however I do have to agree with the comment about the small boots. (the bright spots on the end of the collar look almost like spooky eyes.. maybe a cat? LOL )
I like the contrast, the hat, shirt, and bolo tie. I think the image would have been much more effective without the tiny boots, which are very distracting.
