Great idea, but it does look underexposed to me too. I'd recommend going with cross lighting for more drama. Two strobes directly opposite each other, on your subject's left and right. I did something similar here.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
Now I'll have to talk my son into another session. At 7 he has no patience. My 13 year old daughter could pose all day if you let her. Nice shot.
Cute pic!
I agree the exposure needs to be up and more light on his face as well as closer cropped etc.. Even the fence at an angle through the pic is a bit wonky. Maybe even a cleaner background or make it much much darker.
Maybe experiment on your daughter until you have it to your liking, then call in your son for the final shot. ...if he argues, suggest that next video game or whatever he wants might not make it home nearly as quick. lol

I really like the idea (and the skinned knee!). I think once you correct the shadows, you'll have real winner!
