Default Need HELP with my shadows!!

Hi all, have been playing with some fairytale themed pics. This is one I am on the verge of just scrapping! After spending a fair bit of time on it, I realised at the end when I thought i'd finished a big flaw....If the bear has a shadow shouldn't the girl& the chair. Alas I have no idea how on earth to do this. If any one can help with a suggestion/example it would be much appreciated, and I would also love any other critiques on the pic as I'm not sure it is even worth it at this point!


The great big chair

Camera: Canon EOS 400D Digital
Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10)
Aperture: f/4.0
Focal Length: 22 mm
Exposure: +0.60
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

What you'll need to do is draw around the edges of the chair and the girl and then in your processing program find drop shadow and place the shadow, opcaity and blur level at a place that would seem to be the most realistic
