There are a lot of things I like about this! The colors, for one. They stand out really well. It's a pretty simple color scheme, just red white and blue, but I think it works great. Your shading technique is awesome, as usual
One think I really like about your art is that you have such a wide range of styles. You can draw kinda manga styled like this, realistically, and your backgrounds are pretty good as well. I think that's really cool! I'd like to get to that point someday
The ringlets in her hair are a fantastic idea ^_^
Now onto the critique, which is really little, but I think something about the face can be adjusted. Right now, the top of her head looks a little flat, almost like her hair is square shaped at the top. I would round that out, first of all. Next, the bangs need to be a little longer. To me they just look a tad thin and sparse and could be fuller. Maybe hang eyebrow level. Though the way they are now makes her eyes stand out really well. The next thing is the facial proportions. The ear needs to move up a tad. I think the top of the ear is supposed to be pretty level with the corner of the eyes. The rest of the face is great, but the way the ear is positioned, it makes the rest of it look 'off'. I'm definitely not an expert at proportions though, so take all that with a grain of salt!
Great hands on her, btw ^_^ Lovely character! Keep it up!

I agree with Blacksheep, the hair is a little "flat". I can't spot anything else wrong with her which hasn't already been posted. This is very realistic. Keep up the good work!
