Stunning shot... and I am not even a fan of golden sunsets... this is well done.. fits the challenge very well and the colors are beautiful.

I really like the feel of this shot... less being more comes to mind... the color of the mountain on the horizon offsets the water well... if I had to make a suggestion on improving this shot, and it is a minor quibble... I would check the Horizon and rotate it slightly counter clockwise. Nicely done and fits the chellenge well

Considering that this is basic editing, you did an especially good job on this photo... heck, if it were advanced editing you did a good job!
