nice view, but could have been a bit crisper in the focusing.

A little more sharpness would have made a difference here, dodging the water on the right as well, overall a nice shot..

I see you didn't find any of the comments here helpful, and it looks to me like you got good comments, so not sure if I'll be of much help or not, but I'll try.
The thing that really stands out to me first in this shot is the dead pixel in the center of the photo. Right above the tiny hump to the left of the larger mountain on the right. There's another one near the upper right corner as well. The lighting challenge was an advanced editing challenge and those could definately have been edited to improve the shot. They may be tiny, but in this shot, for some reason they stand out like a sore thumb.
I like the rays of light. Definately don't get to see this every day. not around here at least. the color of the sky is nice, but I can't help but wonder what it would look like with a saturation adjustment. The colors seem slightly foggy, which I would not expect to see them. I wish they were more vibrant.
The poles in the water really seem to have no purpose. Especially since they are merging with the mountains. The silhouetted poles meet the silhouetted mountains and they seem incomplete or out of place since we cannot see all of them, nor see a reason for them to really be there.
Overall a very lovely scene that would benefit from some stronger color in my opinion.

This has potential impact, and I actually like how you didn't overdo the processing. That said, the clouds are begging for a bit more dodge and burn.

Classic capture of light fulfils the challenge well, I'm not sure about the posts though, if its part of a pier it may have been better to include it as a strong compositional element.
