If you just want to eliminate the double shadow and make it a single shadow, I would carefully dodge the lighter part of the shadow. I dodge/burn by adding a layer, setting the blend mode to soft light, and then painting with the paintbrush. Usually use full white or full black. Then adjust the layer opacity to taste. I'll email you with the resulting file. This is just a quick 30 second job. It would be easier with the full size photo, and less obvious if you take a little more time. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
