This last one is another artist. It has no composition. Why?

    Seems too crowded. The houses and people are closed in on the dragon and don't frame him well. Also, everything is given equal importance, there's no hierarchy. The crowd isn't arranged well. The foreground figures overlap and block the background figures in an interfering way. then the word balloons further crowd the scene, as well.

    There's no negative space, the whole picture is filled with things, it's caothic, there's no order, no hierarchy.

    There's no direction, everything have the same importance (if there's any).

    No contrasts, everything is plane, doesn't have anything for the eye to focus on. The characters are stand straight up and down, have no clear silhouettes, no line of action.

    Too crowded, no real breathing room. Nothing frames the two-headed feller (or the people, for that matter-- all of whom are given equal attention. There's no one to focus on and the crowd isn't really arranged in hierarchical groups effectively).
    The buildings, since they aren't really important, should not have been given as much attention as they were, either-- they should be framing devices, rather than competing for attention. It all seems equalled out and busy.

    the people in the crowd have no body language.

    the lines that build the houses are too horizontal and vertical in relation with the frame, what makes the background boring.
