Burning wood

An old way to produce charcoal.
In Brazil it is usual but illegal.
They cut the trees and burn inside a bric Iglu until it becomes dehidrated.
Usually very poor people have this like a way of life.

Great work! The composition is very strong and the light painting works very well for this setting.

Nice light Cristiano. The structures look great but the sky has a green tint to it. Wishing it was bit more blueish...... I liked reading your commentary. Interesting.
