You got an idea but a few things that's "wrong".

The photo is not level, it is also a bit flat in terms of the levels, and also a touch underexposed. The content is a bit cluttered too, the bench in front is distracting and you bin bag to the right can do with cropping out as it's not part of the story of the photo. Then there's the main subject being centered, in this instance, its best to have them 1/3 either side. It could also use a shallower depth of field, the background in the distance is still in focus and it is rather distracting.

Very quick and dirty edit/crop, levels need adjusting but this gets rid of the bin bag and moves the couple off centre:-

my laptop wont allow me to edit the raw file as the nc10 doesnt support the correct resolution :(

Try installing something errr... something didnt allow me to edit RAWs from a 1DS MKIII but I installed something which allowed me to do so..

2 secs I'll check :p

Ok a quote from my unhelpful self.

Never mind. Had to update some plugin on Photoshop and now they've opened :)

Google is your friend :p
