The outdoor lighting was awful, and I got this huge shadow on her face. Any ideas how to get rid of it? The couple would like to order a copy if I can get rid of or at least greatly lessen this shadow on her face.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Adjusted the brightness and contrast on the shadow part with a layer mask. Added a layer and painted over some of the blown out parts of her face. It's a lens not a lense!

The trick is not to brighten the shadows, but to brighten the shadows realistically. What the above edit fails to take into consideration is that there is still a shadow under her right cheek. That shadow identifies the light source as "above right" to the subject, but the new brightness on her other cheek says the light source is to the left of the subject. .
