Nice recording and mixing, Dana: I'd say you're on the right track.
For the sake of contrast, here is another recording of a small stream

My objective was to capture the gurgle speaking in the middle - with
its own story to tell. Recorded in stereo with NT1-A's, separated by a
barrier, on a tripod up about four feet away from the gurgle.
