What's wrong with this (sound) picture?

I've been having fun doing some nature recording for the past couple
of months.  I'm anxious to get better at it.  Toward this end, I am
attaching a link to a 30-second .wav file of a mountain stream that
I recorded last week-end, and I would like some feedback on it.

I recorded this in four parts - three of the tracks were recordings
of small cascades done about six to twelve inches away The forth
track was of the stream as a whole, recorded with the mics facing
upstream from a height of about 12 feet.  I mixed them in Audition.

Many of the recordings that I hear of streams on the web sound
either like single cascades or white noise.  I was trying to get a
sound picture of the ambiance, but since I'm new at this I'm sure it
can be done better.

If you have any comments about how I might improve this in any way,
I'd love to hear your thoughts.  I am not sensitive to constructive
criticism and my goal is to use any feedback that I can get to
improve my recording skills.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dana Blackmer
