Default Portrait Using Softbox Outdoors

Please critique the lighting. One softbox to the left. One strobe with diffuser cap on right. More light? Maybe larger aperture?

I'm far from qualified, but the lighting looks good to me. I would of liked to see a shallower depth of field, to seperate him from the background a little more, but otherwise a great shot

I agree, the lighting is good (maybe a touch underexposed). But the pose/setting sucks...A shallower DOF would help the setting, a tighter crop could help the pose...
