Day 44 – Smudge Pot with Pears

SPwPears

I’m surprised at the number of smudge pots still to be found sitting around the orchards though they have not been legal for years.  I remember spring mornings from my childhood when the skies around here would just be black with smoke from the smudging, (i.e. burning oil in these pots to keep the fruit blossoms from freezing).  My brother had a job lighting smudge pots in high school and he would come home covered in black soot.  On this one I used the extreme detail extractor, a brilliance/warmth filter, and a darken lighten center filter.  Then I added an edgy rough border.
