Avalokiteshvara with Hindu Deities

Residents of the Bay Area are spoiled by the wealth of cultural activities available to enjoy. A recent visit to the Asian Art Museum with a knowledgeable guide proved to be fascinating and inspirational. This is a collage of several items I photographed during my tour.

I took this photograph in a museum in San Diego. The lighting was very poor and mono-chromatic. I did manage to produce a reasonably good black and white image but I thought something was still lacking. So I decided to try to hand tint the image; and here's the result. Overall I'm very pleased with the result, and I may try other images which I thought were lost causes.
