The second render seems the most believable. Only the sky looks a little bit unnatural (it is too bright in its colors). As to the water, its being wavy is not a problem (to my opinion at least).
For caustics, there is a nice small program that it can be very useful in such cases... the images that produces can be used as filters for light sources, so that there may appear caustic like light effects in the water (as is well known the 'real' caustics in renderers slow down the rendering process significantly). It is free for non commercial use. The link is below:
