Eco Park is only open for visitors during daylight hours over the weekends. However, I was recently given the key of the park by the park management making it possible for me to come and go as I please

Anlie and I had a interesting time taking this photograph. Trying to get the animals in the right place for a sunset shot was a mission. Anlie drove up and down the path trying to outsmart the ever moving animals. A soon as she stopped The animals would turn away leaving me with nothing. Eventually I got a few shots in

This is something new for me. I am always open to some constructive advice

This one is very special, Deryck!
The mood and the colors, wow!!! The details is stunning, and the zebra seems very proud.
Well done! :-))))

An holy evening light, Deryck.
Think..I´ll do it not so good as you did!
cheers
Regi
PS: Maybe one trick I have for u..but this means
u have to do some photoshop after.
If u do the lightmeasurement on the zebra, it will be more bright. But than put a layer on the pic and make the backround darker in photoshop.
My eos 40d has a star-button to record the datas of the lightsensitivity.

You lucky guy : getting the key of Eco Park ! I'm jealous, you know......

Very special wildlife capture in this twilight. Not easy I know as I could experience myself with the 'Little Owl by night' shot.
The light on the zebra and grass is wonderful and warm.
It's a pity the lights in the background are burned out so much. Couldn't you avoid this by using another pov ?
