  I don't have a problem with the shadow per se, as the ceiling and upper
walls are illuminated by the bright spot on the floor, and the ceiling and
walls probably will cause a darkening underneath the head. What bothers me
is how well-defined the shadow is. It's almost sharp. If the shadow is
caused by a large ceiling and walls, the shadow under the head should be
*very* smooth (as the ceiling would effectively be a huge area light), so
smooth that it should be almost shapeless. Such as well-defined shadow can
only be produced by a relatively small area light, which in itself would
make the head be lighted more strongly from that direction.
