Shadow in a pic...Need some help.

Seneca

Ok I just took some pictures of a Freshman baseball team, these were individual pics. The coach wanted me to take them in a small conference room...with a white screen background (why?...I don't know...but he's the coach...and I felt i had to do this...:bow ). Looking at the pics...they look ok...but I have a shadow that follows the individual pic. Is there anyone out there that knows how to take that shadow out. I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 ...so any guidance on this would help.

Thanks in advance to any help.

Sen, while we are waiting for your post of the shots.

I believe it's your obligation to let the coach know how you feel about the background, and what options you would choose to create a more suitable environment. Even if your not pro, you still have much more expercience at photography than him or he would compose the shot and use a remote or timer.
If you were in a batters cage and he came up and gave some good pointers, you would probably listen... Well he's in your batters cage. The worst he can say is "no" then there are less worries on your part about delivering a bad shot.

Just a thought.
