I think there should be a bit of discretion involved when editing others photos. I realize that we may all have our creative differences and that we can never like everything everyone else does, but by any objective measure this "enhancement" has ruined the original photo from a technical standpoint.

Now, on to the original question. The shadow doesn't really bother me all that much, but a reflector could have gotten rid of it if you wanted to.

I would have scooted the girl to her left and / or the camera to the photographer's left to position her in front of the hedge completely for a more pleasing background.
