    Unhappy Need a suggestion on lighting, posted pic

    I have a few problems with this picture, it's do able but the face is very pale and the background is a light tan, but in the picture, looks a washed out gray.
    I'm obviously doing something wrong but I cannot tell.
    Here are the specs on the lights:
    A Master/Slave Flash
    A Slave Flash
    7 ft Light Stands
    Two 32" umbrellas (Silver/White)
    The Master strobe has a guide number of 55 (Main light) and the slave strobe 42 (Fill light).

    The picture was taken with a Canon Rebel Digital at ISO 100 1/60 and f6.3.

    Should the I position my lights differently to get a more colorful background and face color.
    My lights are positioned on either side of me. main at 45 degrees and fill closer to me on my left.
    What would be the fix for this.
