Doing some outdoor strobe stuff. Would be curious what people think?

Tech:
ISO 100, 85mm, f1.8(yup! with a strobe even), 1/200 sec

Einsteins are hands down the most awesome strobes in my opinion. I can't think of any other pro studio light where you can shoot such a large aperture without the use of NDs and what not. Even then it's almost impossible to do. I think I was shooting at 4 watts on this one...about as low as you can go on the Einstein.

Not crazy about the bright band across the top. The light on the model's face seems a bit harsh and looks a bit like a mask. The real interest of this image lies between the top of the dark OOF band at the bottom to just above the model's head. I like the glow of the OOF flowers that would soften the image more effectively if the overall light was less harsh.

Interesting points Craig, thank you for the input.

Not sure if I'm in agreement with you regarding the light on the subject though. But the sky is a bit bright. I could use gradients to bring it down. Unfortunately I did not shoot with a tripod on this shot, so trying to blend a correctly exposed sky in would have been impossible.
