You always struggle with POV in scenes like this because your scene is 
effectively being lit twice, once from the ambient of the box (the "real" 
lighting), and then again from some "fake" area light needed for the 
photons.  It will of course be impossible to get the correct look with this 
setup.

Using MCPOV should make things better.
