Okay so I took this picture, and I like it. Some suggested to try to take the shadow out. I did manage to get it mostly gone, and I think I do like the shot better that way.

I am having a terrible time however, with getting the very edge of the shadow blended so that it looks like it isn't there and looks natural. On this particular image it seems to be beyond my skill in Photoshop - it's hard with how the shadow meets the lighter area in the photo.

So - let me know if you think you can fix it, and what you want to do it, and I'll pay you. Feel free to try it out on this image to see if you can get it to work, and show a sample. I will provide full size TIFF to work with, and will want TIFF/PSD back. I would like the shadow gone, and blended well. I can do another one with the shadow just reduced just fine myself.

I've been working on this on and off lately, and I realized that it's pretty hard to get the color of the bright pebbles under the shadow to match the color of the ones not under it; just look at the lower right side of the picture where the shadow reaches the side of the frame.

Yup. Anyone who wants to try with full size, here's a TIFF:

It's not the full image, but is full size for that part.
