Just shooting from the hip, I think you might have actually introduced another "tangent" issue by bringing the sky color down so far on the left side of the head, for now the top of the foliage aligns with the collar/neck. And while of course there will be variation in the height of the foliage, the substantial difference now between that height on either side of the head kinds of reads as a disconnect for me.

As for the vest/hand lines, yes, I still see the same problem, but easily taken care of, I think, by just letting the line of the vest "form fit" his body, curving downward to the button area, so that the "V" points toward the middle of the hand instead of along its top edge.
