Well, I was thinking it was the actual sky casting the shadow, with the bright
spot on the floor cast by a point(ish) source in the sky. But in any case,
nemesis assures us the sky doesn't cast light, so I guess that shadow's all
wrong as you originally said. Additionally, I think the darkening in the
corners is far too extreme.
