I was actually thinking the same thing while processing the scanned
file but at that stage it was a bit late to do anything about it. In
some ways I like how it blends into its own shadow but it does create
a weird shape, as if it's some kind of funnel.
Regarding the blocked-up shadow detail, I've made an adjustment and
saved it as a separate file:

It's still quite dark in this room so it might not make much
difference when viewing in daylight. I tend to make my shadow
details quite subtle because I like photos where I see more as I look
closer.
Shel; I'll have a fiddle with the borders at some stage. The whole
site is a work-in-progress and I do have a few issues with it as it
is. Unfortunately I'm too busy working on someone else's site to do
much with my own at this stage.
