    If the image is static you could use the Bezier mask tool in Pan/Crop to isolate it and lighten it up a bit. If it’s not static you would need a motion tracker to rotoscope the shadow in order to lighten it up but this would take hours of rotoscoping and additional software and might not look that good in the end anyway.
