Don't worry. Play more. I made a check list with my limited experience. Share with you guys. All comments, critiques, bricks are welcome.

compose
what is the subject?(what is the interest point)
is it the best spot to shoot? (walk around)
is it the best angle? (try more)
is the foreground good? (is it too busy? is it overlap the subject?)
have you used lines, shapes, and / or colour in composition?
have you put subject on the best position? (rule of thirds, not absalote)
camera setting:
what lens to use?
depth of field (aperture)
the exposure
need a tripod? flash? shuttle release cable?
filters (very basic for landscape is PL)
digital darkroom -- PS (no experience for film darkroom)
RAW convert: (this is a big advantage shooting in RAW, you have the
chance to adjust white balance, exposure, shadow, saturation after shoot.)
crop the image (horizontal, etc...)
adjust level and curve
resize for necessary usage
sharpening (USM)
Nice. Very handy. 探讨一点：如果最终要印照片的话，动level要小心，不然很容易出来效果是一块块的颜色疙瘩。

Good to know. It never happened to me. In what case it will happen? so that we can avoid to make the mistake.
