If you want to increase contrast, set ambient to 0 and diffuse to 1. Also, to 
beter emulate the original, you should use radiosity, add radiosity{} in the 
global_settings section to enable radiosity with default parameters. Looking at 
the original, you'd probably will need to increase count and reduce error_bound.
