Edwin's right, it looks kind of like an overcast day.... its nice and soft but a bit flat. Its ok as is, but not really as striking as it could be.
If the shot is supposed to "look" outdoor I'd consider a sports reflector gelled 1/4 CTO to mimic a late afternoon sun look... Probably back-lit. Try that along with the softbox fill but keeping a good strong ratio (4:1-5:1?) And it'll be a nice sunny afternoon.

I like it. You are a photographer and I am not, so I won't insult you by pretending to answer your question.
For myself, and my own work,and my (different) purposes, I tend to try for ( but not always succeed) dramatic lighting, chiaroscuro (not sure about spelling). But then I'm a dramatic person ! I also use too many brackets in my sentences!
BTW, I enjoyed going back and answering that orb question.. thank you for pointing that out ! I run a group called spooky stuff.. but I still have serious doubts about orbs, and I HATE people telling me how to answer questions!.

That's interesting. There are no shadows anywhere!
But wait... This isn't a trick question, is it? You are not really trying to ask, "How do you like my photography?" are you?
Then, is it a softbox?

there is no flow of light it is too plain, it does need a more dramatic light source>
