Is there a way with metapost to get a slightly off-centered (upper- right) shadow around a figure?

This a simple version (the \setupexternalfigures line is needed to load the example image because it won't wotk with dummy graphics):

\startuseMPgraphic{shadow}
  fill OverlayBox shifted (EmWidth/2,EmWidth/2) withcolor "lightgray" ;
  setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay [shadow] [\useMPgraphic{shadow}]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]

\starttext

\externalfigure[mill]
\blank
\externalfigure[mill][background=shadow]

\stoptext
