Seriously underrated, beautifully rendered scene. I've had the same problem with a lot of my images; just not enough *wow* factor for the voters as a whole, no matter how beautiful and well-captured the image might be :-(
Great detail! There's a ton of "subjects" and compositions available here in this scene. The one you chose to submit is pleasing overall. The lighting is delightful with the shadows to add depth and interest. Only nit (minor) for me is I think I'd like to see more of "something" than the overall scene. Maybe something with a lower POV and less sky? Just some observations. Good luck in the challenge.
