that is a very broad question based around subjective or objective intentions, and of course taste. Composition is always important with respect to framing, often less is much more, how much can you remove from the image or frame and retain the purpose - often the most simplistic images are the most powerful. Often the most beautiful images are those that really use the light source, be it a painting or photograph. There are many avenues to look into and discuss but i cant help thinking that the answer to the question is really about how the artist has COMMUNICATED with the viewer, i guess the image is good when it speaks for itself and moves the viewer or provokes thoughts, emotions or simply serves ITS PURPOSE. Imagine flicking through a book or walking round a gallery - some images have the power to stop you in your tracks, make you angry, laugh, cry or fall in love. Think about the power of brands and advertising look at SEMIOTICS.
