Ran your image through PS Express and found lots of detail in the cat, flowers, and vase; but none in the background. So I would guess the lack of background illumination is why there is no image data there.
Yes, I would like a little light coming from the back side. Just enough light to have some shadow back there. I am going to try a large octagon attached to the strobe on one side and a reflector on the other side just to see what happens. Then I will try an octagon a bit above pointed down at an angle with light and some side light to see what will happen.
