Wow, darn good lighting. I particularly like that major highlight on the little hairs that stick up on top. Great stuff, amazing you did this in painter 7.
If the light source is coming from above, as it appears to be, then there should be a lot more light on her face, neck, and chest. Her face also looks very grey, maybe make her cheeks and lips a bit more pink.
oh, and I forgot to mention-- her neck looks too long too, I'd move her head down and to the left just a tad. I love the hair btw. And her skirt; awesome detail!
I like the image itself, its painted very well, and the curved perspective is really something that isnt easy to pull off.
However, when I think of Natsume Maya, this is not really what comes to mind. It just doesnt seem to be in character for her. She looks rather uncertain and afraid in this image, rather than the powerful, cool leader of the Jyuken Club. Personally it seems more like Aya here in this image.
Other than that there are the little anatomical things that others have mentioned, but again the curved perspective is very difficult to do well, and I feel that you have done a pretty damn good job at it.
Nice work i really like the perspective in this one. It shows of some of her umm best assets she was always my fav in the series (althought the chibi version was just kinda weird O_o )
