The second strobe was right behind the subject (pointing towards the subject) shoulder level at full power also through a white umbrella.  The backgr0und was an almost white wall which helped.  I didn’t try pointing the second flash towards the wall but I believe it would have worked just as well.

On my next attempt I will try 1/2 power on the background flash to avoid the burned effect on the neck area.
