Tallest Lighthouse of Pakistan Photo

Photographer’s Note

Manora Lighthouse - the tallest lighthouse of Pakistan (28m or 87 feet).
Manora article on Wikipedia
Manora or Manoro (in Sindhi) is a small island (2.5 km²) located just south of the Port of Karachi in Pakistan. The island is connected to the mainland by a 12 kilometre long causeway called the Sandspit. Manora and neighbouring islands form a protective barrier between Karachi harbour to the north and the Arabian Sea to the south.
Manora is also a popular picnic spot because of the long sandy beaches along the southern edge of the island, which merge into the beaches of the Sandspit and then extend several kilometres to the beaches at Hawkesbay.

Hi Waqas. Your lighting of this image is great. I have seen this lighthouse but unfortunately the light was bad and I never recorded it. In composing the image, I would perhaps have placed the lighthouse off centre, to, say, the left of the frame - but that is just a personal preference. Also, I believe that increasing the contrast in the image will be an improvement.

There are some intriguing old structures around the lighthouse itself which look as if they would make great subjects.
