Late access to the zoo during certain days or assignments is a perk of volunteering. Even if you’re not a zoo volunteer though, there are many events at most zoos that let you enjoy the various animals at these beautiful twilight hours.
I was shooting photos for the marketing department of one such event when I caught this peacock perched up high against the fading sky. Watch for the direction of the last bits of sun. In this case, the last remnants of light are coming from right of frame, and they’re giving just the tiniest bit of definition to the shape and texture of the peafowl.
