There are several ways to do this. The bext method could vary depending on the size and quality of the original.
My choice would be the following.
If necessary make a copy layer and remove the white blob bottom right using the magic wand tool and Edit>Clear
Using the rectangle tool make a small selection in one of the typically lighter parts of the door ( Say near the glass panel on the right) and use Edit > define pattern (Call this Lightdoor)
Using the rectangle tool do the same for a typically darker part of the door. ( Say by the lady’s right hip) (Call this pattern Darkdoor)
Create two new layers beneath the picture copy layer.
Edit >Fill the bottom one of the two with the pattern Lightdoor and run Filter>Blur>Smartblur on it.
Edit >Fill the upper of the two with the pattern Darkdoor and run Filter>Blur>Smartblur on it.
Using the eraser tool on a low setting remove parts of the upper Darkdoored layer progressively to leave a graduated shadow from bottom to top above the Lightdoored layer.
When happy with the shaded effect merge the two layers and run Smartblur again.
Touch up if neccessary with the clone tool.

I tried to remove a person from a picture and done ok so far. The last thing I need to do, is to clone the door behind the removed
person.
What is the best way to do this ?
