Make sure your scene does what a scene is supposed to do. Scenes need to focus on moving forward the plot or characterization and have a beginning, middle and end. This article here goes into that in better detail, including a lot on good scene structure. 

Each scene should propel the reader into the next scene and compel them to keep reading. While it’s great to end on a bang! -- a secret being revealed, a door being opened -- the satisfaction comes because that bang! resolves some issue you, the creator, set up in that scene. 

As always, structure is key. Setup --> Complication --> Crisis --> Resolution is one typical structure discussed here.
