Okay, trying not to be harsh.
First: dude, turn your date off. or at least crop it out.
Second: Your composition is okay, but it needs a central subject (meaning focus point, not a subject in the middle)
Third: In landscapes, horizons should be completely straight.
Fourth: using bright/contrast on this could improve the color quality immensely.

Nice sepia, nice contrast, nice grain, nice couple, nice umbrella, nice bridge. This is a happy grainy picture. Everything just works so well together. I'd bet you're doing quite well with this right now.

It doesn's seem as if you made grain an intergral part of the message here, but I really like this. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was more pronounced at a larger image size.
