Took this at the La Brea Tar Pits in LA, CA. Let me know what you think. I'll admit, it is kinda boring.

Good thing I'm not taking the Rorschach Inkblot test right now...who knows what my answer would be :D Anyway, the first thing I'd do is probably crop some of the bottom out to make more of what (I'm assuming) your focus was: the intersection of all those shades of red in the upper right. People critique that in my photography a lot, so it's something I always work on. Keep it up!
