Vintage found photobooth portrait of an unidentified young lady.
On back is written "April 14, 1944."
I can't tell if those are ribbons or bows in her hair or 2 roses?

I did some small, cosmetic clean-up retouches in photoshop.
Any comments or observations are much appreciated!
This is an image I took back in 2016l using a new (to me) lighting method that is outlined below.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which my wife painted), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur.
Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.

Largely undocumented itinerant photographer. Probably active in Wallachia in the mid-1860s, one CDV of his connected to the town of Turnu Severin on the Danube. Possibly the same person as the J. Springer active in Silesia (Freiwaldau, Gräfenberg & Karlsbrunn) in the later 1860s and early 1870s.
