this one does fit the challenge in a double way!
I like this one most of your choices - the colours version is the best imo. And the crop doesn't look random like the vertical one

Hi Chris
this is a fairly nice shot but not a picture above average.
The bridge - which is supposed to be the main object has too many "opponents" rivaling for the viewers eye. If it was my shot I would have tried a crop on the left side - the bridge doesn't to be in the centre.
The whole picture seems to be kind of hazy and washed out, maybe a little more contrast would have changed it for the better.
Your idea of leaving it in colour is hard to be evaluated since we don't know how clear or greyish the water and the sky would have been.
I hope this gives you a hint on what might be the reason for average votes imho
