Although they do help you set more of an image of the scene you're trying to portray, I found it lacking only because of how they didn't seem to add to an emotional atmosphere? This is all a matter of just personal pickyness, though, and I think with the way you write, you force the readers to not rush and actually take their time to process the words. I'm just a
