New go, but to get it I altered assumed_gamma from 1.0 to 2.2 (my
display_gamma is correct for my monitor at 2.2). With assumed_gamma 1.0
(which I know is the "correct" setting) it seems quite difficult to avoid a
bright, flat lit image for some scenes (including this one). There is a
larger version at

I've added another area light "high". Thanks for this suggestion, I think it
improved the shadows a lot!
