Unfortunately, we are in GIMP, doing 2D raster operations... what you 
say would be relatively easy to do in 3D graphics, but not so in our 
case: casting light will create shadows, changing the light angle will 
change the size and direction of the shadows... I have no idea how to do 
this in 2D.

Also look at the columns: they have a lighted side and a shadowed side. 
The light direction and intensity is pretty much fixed, otherwise we are 
going dangerously close to http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/
