Need Quick Photo Help! (Rly easy I am sure)

A girl I like has a bday coming up and I wanted to give her something that she can remember me by. I have known her for years and searched through all my photos. Sadly, I was unable to find an old picture of just me and her. However, there is a pic of us together that was taken a month ago and a resturaunt. It is rly good but the problem is that there is too mucdh going on around us and it needs some editing. Here is hte pic:



Couple things I want fixed:
- I want the picture to be just of her and I with my arm around hers and my chest showing.
- I dont want my left hand showing
- If possible, no straw either
- Also if someone can brush up in some spots, that be great

I am planning on going to walgreens and buying it in their print center so make sure the sizes would work. Not sure what size to end up making it but I will take suggestions from yall. Also, not sure if I should have any text, let me know what you guys think. THANKS ALOT! RLY OWE WHO HELPS!

EDIT2:
High Rez that works:

I would hardly call this a General Hardware issue.

Perhaps one of the Photoshop gurus in Digital Artwerk can help you. It would be nice if you could post a link to a higher rez version.

Whoops my bad, thanks for the move.

I am not sure if I have a higer rez version, will check tho.

Here is a link to a much higer rez version. When you fix pic, please suggest what size I should print the shots.

Higher Rez

BTW, I am doing at Walgreens. Not sure if it matters. Anyone have an experiance using their photo center?

The high rez link dont work. Heres a 3 minute quickie on the one I could use. Not perfect but quick. Got rid of the straws and glasses, hand, and some minor color/exposure adjustment. Removal of the kid will take a little more time and the high res version would come out better.

Looking good so far. Try to copy the link and paste it in another window. For some reason people are complaining about the high rez. I will rehost in a few.

Alright, here is a high rez link that works for all:

Wow, that looks pretty good for a quickie.

If you decide to tackle the higher rez version, may I make a suggestion? Do something about the "shine" on her forehead and right cheek. From a female perspective, I can tell you she'll probably look at that and the first thing she'll notice is "OMG, I should have powdered my face!"

As far as the background, you might want to try a "vignette" effect to make the characters the main focus. Here's one I found on my HD from a while back. Not the best example and not very well centered, but you get the idea.

That looks pretty damned sweet! Nice job! The shiny forehead is gone, the background is inconsequential... I think she's really going to like this pic.
