Apparently the image in question is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Guy_with_pierced_nipple.jpg. The deletion request didn't say "bad composition" but "Low quality, outside of project scope http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:PS. Being listed in a gallery does not grant an automatic "in-scope" determination." The image is low quality and it wouldn't be a great loss. But I'd still vote "keep" cause the ways of relevant image use are inscrutable. Even if the piercing can be hardly seenm the image can still be used (just some ideas): * an article about the specific type of necklace * some article about human mimic * a wikibook about image composition (as a bad example)
Even bad images can be useful in other contexts. Contexts the original uploader and the delete voters may not have thought about. There's no limit in disk space, so no reason to delete images that could be useful in contexts that may not be imagined at the moment.

I discovered this morning "poor composition" as an argument for deleting a picture (from someone else, not me). It means that the "picture of the day" people are slowly highjacking Wikimedia Commons to turn it into a beauty contest.
If that really is the only reason for deletion then the deletion request will be denied soon. It's just a single person. Everybody can file a deletion request. You don't need to bother about a single person with bad judgement. There are other people with better judgement who will straighten it.
