Shadow Shapes

My favourite shadow picture. Taken at the time of day when the sun is directly overhead. Usually, a horrible time to take picture because all details get bleached out. I found a cafe with a shade made of canvas squares , all joined at the corners, The light and shade was fantastic! I loved how the pattern created looked like it was painted on the floor, wall and furniture.

 

I couldn't have got this effect at any other time than when the sun was at its highest.

 

I don't really like the framing of the shot. When I took it I was concentrating too much on the pattern and forgot about the furniture. I took a shot that had too much floor in the middle so they eye doesn't really have anywhere to rest.

 

Gosh, I haven't even mentioned "exposure" or "white balance". Was B&W an easy option or a cliche? Give me ways it could be improved. . There are lots of ideas thatI could make this shot even better, what do you suggest?
