I got two speedlites a couple weeks ago and have been experimenting with them ever since. I took this picture last night and need a bit of advice about removing the shadow above/behind my head:
I know ideally I should have shot it so there was no shadow present, but I didn't quite manage it (for the record, I did have a flash behind me shooting up but hey, I'm still learning). Anyway, I know a reshoot would be the best approach, but I'm curious how others would go about removing the shadow if that wasn't an option. I use Photoshop CS3 for editing -- what tools/steps would you follow? I've tried the clone tool and dodging but nothing looks quite right.
Edit: full res jpg is available here if anyone's interested.
