Cranks rotated so either a) the drive side it aligned up the downtube OR b) the non-driveside is aligned up the seat tube.
Pedals should be tightened to allow the pedal to sit upright, and pedals should be horizontal to the ground.
Buttons or pulls on the toe-straps.
The ends of brake cables should be proper crimped and stoppered.
I've always held this picture to be a pretty solid example of good bicycle presentation.
Aesthetics is all in the detail, I'm really glad you're asking these questions.
