Dampness above the stream

C&C would be appreciated - walked up a creek this afternoon, it was a little dark under the canopy. Tried to capture the sparkle of sunlight off this bright green foliage, there are a few sparkles but not quite what I was hoping for. This is a approx. 50% crop, iso 100, f5.6 (the foliage was dripping so wanted to inc shutter speed to reduce blur - 1/20 sec, at 170mm, using a 2 sec self timer.

I think what strikes me here is the shallow depth of field; you're relatively close to the subject, so I think shooting at f11 and ISO 400 would have been a better choice in that more of the scene would have been in sharp focus.

Thanks, yes I was thinking the same thing as I was writing the thread.
