Considering only the frame and it's content, putting the issues of color rendering, sharpness, exposition, brightness, contrast, optical aberration, unpleasant flash/noise aside.
I think of:
- Inappropriate depth of field
- Inappropriate focal point
- Tilted horizon without interesting perspective
- Neglected background/foreground
- Distracting reflections
- Out of control lens flare
- The subject was cutting
- An interesting part/element of the image was cutting
- Something (finger/strap) is in front of the lens
- ...
I'm trying to have an overall view.
Answer
You need to avoid not thinking ;)
Jay Maisel says Everything in your frame either helps you or hurts you.
In other words, to compose well you must make sure that everything in your image is part of what you want to show or say and that nothing in your image should distract from that.
Jay also says not to include letters in your frames unless you want them to be read, otherwise they distract from your subject. There are no absolutes, even lens flare can be used creatively to reinforce a harsh environment.
