Myyyaaaaaaa *_*.......
... this counts as critique, right? >.>... Ahem. I really like the background and composition here. And the girl, of course

. But still, composition wins : the hair among the grass, the way she's laying there, etc...
Only the feet seem *slightly* too... flat? thin... something. Can't quite pinpoint it. And maybe it's just me.

Could be. Definitely a high probably of an error due to lack of experience drawing feet.

It seems like there are two images--one finished grass background and one character sprite--mashed directly instead one unified artwork. She looks floating instead of laying on grass. The solution is to shade the grass/floor according to the light source and shadow made by the character, therefore the grass area near her face and torso shouldn't be bright. For her right feet to appear above the left, the obstructing grass effect should be enough just on her left.
The rest is just playing with how the grass appear (it doesn't look like grass from above). Anyway I like the elegant result you make from your shading. Keep it up! ^-^

She's cute

Is there a reason behind the mix of school uniform and maid headband (if that's what it is)?
On the technique side, there is a strange feeling of unbalance. I think it comes from the skirt line not being horizontal, while the rest of the body is perfectly vertical. Is there some wind?

The maid headband and school uniform are there because I thought they were random elements of Moe that should be included in a character designed for a fansub group named "Moetaku." The bottom of the skirt is supposed to be angled down a little, but I guess the balance of flaring could have been done better.
Her eyes are perfectly fine. She has G**ss on her left eye.
