Any tips will be appreciated.

Hi Wavemachine,
If you could post a picture of what you've done, it would be better than mentally trying to visualise it. From what you've said though, it sounds like you could duplicate the image of your daughter and place it on top of the first (and on top of the frame layer, if what I'm picturing is correct). Add a layer mask to it, painting everything but her arm invisible. Next click on the "fx" tab at the bottom of the layers pallet. Select "drop shadow". Set the angle depending on the light source and adjust the distance and the strength of the shadow to suit. See how that looks.
