Twilight as in the time of day?

Doesn't look like twilight to me. The clouds are still illuminated by the sun.

Good image; would any other angle have helped to get the tree in isolation? i too don't feel the twilight

Yes, twilight as in time of day. The sun is below the horizon, yet the clouds are still catching the last direct rays. Yes, twilight as in time of day.

I was blocking out some buildings in the background. Sometimes a tree is just a tree, and twilight is what it is.

It's not actually.Probably another 20-30 minutes and it would have been.

Twilight is the time well after the sun dips below the horizon and the only available light is blue. It is the period after sunset or before sunrise in which natural light provided by the upper atmosphere receives direct sunlight and scatters part of it towards the Earth's surface.You do not get any direct light rays at the angle you captured in your image.

It is twilight where the tree is.

I see your problem--You're not aware of the difference between civil and nautical twilight.

You're welcome.
