A polarizer, ND or UV filter would probably have helped here. There is a lot of haze in the background and it is very bright. A graduated ND filter would help bring out the exposure of the foreground without blowing out the background.
Very nice image. I like the way that the land and the water adds alot of interest and value to the image. There is also a lot of variety of color and pattern.
I have ridden from Oregon on my Harley there many times......Laughlin...fun area...hot, but I love it. River is so nice and so cold. Great spot and you have taken a good photo that shows it all.
5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.
