Writers sometimes forget that there're three distinct levels of attention~long-range view, where you show if there are {mountains} or dust-clouds {or echoing footsteps} in the distance, mid-range view, where you show the size of rooms and the proximity of your characters from each other and things that matter in the scene, and close view, which is inside the character's personal space and includes anything they touch, taste, and often smell. I've noticed... that people leave out at least one of those too much in a scene, and without them all, the story doesn't feel real
