I agree with Georgianne - ignore the "judges." People that think it is a crime to make any change after they click the shutter are ignorant of all that a master like Adams did in the wet darkroom. These days, we just have it a bit easier in the digital darkroom.
In PS, select Image, then Mode and you will see that you can convert from 16 to 8 bit. |

Well done. I do find the candle's flame too bright and too white. It would be more "vintage" if more yellow and a bit dimmer. |

Save for the black smudge near top left, this is a very nice "portrait" of your grandson. I might clone out the "Bell" label.
As for filters disappearing, near as I can tell, they only show if your image is 8 bit. For reasons I can't imagine, Adobe has not upgraded the filters to work with 16 bit images. Try a mode conversion to 8 bit for your photo and see if filters don't show up. |

Your result is a pleasant modification of your original. But as Helen notes, it does feel too busy. Perhaps a crop up from the bottom by 25% would help. Also, apply a vignette to put more focus on the staircase's loop just below the skylight. |

I use a several years old Epson 1650. It is a cut above your basic scanner but by no means high-end (as used for example by Deb Stoner). |

The use of different coloring on the left and right is very appealing. Well done. |

This is "altered reality" at its best. Your coloring of the waves is inspired. I do find the right most groyne unbalancing (and its shadow confusing) and would suggest cropping it out. And then move the seagulls a bit to the left. |
