Would a post-processing expert please help me with the fuzzy shadow under and to the right of the woman's nose. I'm thinking it's her left cheek. It bothers me but I'm not skilled enough to eliminate it properly. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

does this help. I used photoshop I used the magic wand to select the shadow (make sure only the shadow is selected) then I lessened the shadow using the shadow highlight tool under adjust light in the
enhance dropdown.

Thank you gwbarr. Could you please click store original so I can download it. Do you think the shadow is actually the woman's left cheek?

Thanks for the link. This woman was standing to the side of a long window - no flash. I was looking for help with this particular photo. The information you provided will no doubt be helpful when I'm shooting photos in the future.

Hope this is the improvement you are looking for. I used the dodge tool and the clone tool as well.

I will let more talented people than I try to do what you want done. Suffice for me to say I absolutely love the shot. An adoring grandmother and baby - what better subject could one want?
