I like that - a simple composition that works.
As an aside, if it wasn't for the title I wouldn't have been sure what
the background is. Not that it matters - the background works
regardless.
Cheers

This is one shot where, if I was really trying to capture more of a
literal appearance of the scene, I'd have needed HDR techniques. The
stream runs through pretty thick plant cover of trees and bushes, but
the late day sun was reflecting off the water at about 45 degrees
through a gap straight ahead of my PoV. So there must have been a light
range of well over a dozen EV or so when I clicked the shutter.
I toyed with reducing the contrast to better bring out the tonal
variations in the water itself, but I preferred emphasizing the curious
sparkly lines and stuff in the OOF specular reflections (what can I say,
I'm still a sucker for that). But I'm likely to revisit this one and
play with other renderings. I think there's a lot of latitude in the image.
I appreciate your comments. Thank you Brian.
