Default How to photograph rivers?

My take is to go easy on the photos of junked cars, and focus on the
wildlife. You might need to show an occasional photo that includes junk
cars, just to be somewhat honest in showing the river, but perhaps even
those photos should be focused on the wildlife. There are enough junk
cars and concrete on the banks that you probably cannot completely
ignore them and pretend that they don't exist.

However, I wonder how should I photograph and present the river on-line: to
focus on scenic aspects or show more documentary shots?

During my last paddling of the last year on December 30th, I stopped for a
longer while at the Patterson Ditch Dam (the first dam downstream of Evans)
and had a photo session with old cars used to protect river banks. Old cars
appear in numerous places along the South Platte. What do you think about my
junk car portfolio? I wouldn't like to discourage anybody from paddling the
South Platte.
