It's your style. I love the way you draw legs, it makes me so damn jealous.
That's the important thing to note when judging an artwork, consider the artist's style to see if certain elements are "off-key" or not. That's why critique is "harsher" on people that you don't really know or haven't sampled enough work. But, after seeing a good amount of the person's artwork, you kind of define a range for proportions in that person's style.
In that drawing, the legs look fine to me. The proportions are in the range I'd expect from you and, therefore, there's nothing off-key from my point of view.
If you're working on a character that already exists, such as Chun-Li, you know that they might have some exaggerated features that's part of the character. Chun-Li has her legs, Chris Redfield has those biceps, Jessie (Pokemon) has her super long hair, etc.
I mean, look at this drawing I made a long time ago of Chun-Li. I don't recall anyone complaining her legs being too long/big, because their one of her traits.

Each person has their own set of rules, they can bend to a certain degree, if they break inconsistency might happen, they can always be rewritten.
