Let Me Sink - Emotional Rainy Scene Photo Manipulation

As you see in original picture, light on model comes from in front and from right to left. So it made a shadow of hand on the shawl . To fix it, make two new layers and set the mode to Soft light 100%. I use soft brush with color #fbb7b4 painting on this shadow.
