I would first try to hang something dark opposite the main light to kill some of the fill, this could be a dark background or it could be a dark bath sheet just out of camera range. Then bring up the fill until you get what you want in the shadows.

Everyone seems to say, in one way or another, that there is TOO much light. Jerry comment that 'it would be good lighting for passport photos or wanted posters' is exactly what was bothering me about my pics. More lighting experiments this weekend (houseguests!)
