It's a PP workflow, developed by a certain Orton, to get the effect exactly as shown by Bong above. I only do it on portraits so far, and never attempted it on birds yet. That's a very nice Bird art Bong, even Arthur Morris will like that.  |

Thanks guys. Here's the definition of Orton Effect in Wikipedia "Orton imagery, also called an Orton slide sandwich, is a photography technique which blends two completely different photos of the same scene, resulting in a distinctive mix of high and low detail areas within the same photo.[1] It was originated by photographer Michael Orton" Here's a nice read on this topic: www.naturephotographers.net/articles0106/dw0106-1.htmlOrton Effect in Portraiture:  Orton Effect - Nightscape  Pied Buschat (Female)  |

Where you merge/blend 3 different exposures of a photos. |

In a way they're similar because it involves merging of different layers (nowadays, what's not?).
But the similarities end there.
HDR masks part of the image, so it will only show the part that has the correct exposure or levels.
With the Orton effect, levels are blended with the multiply option.
You basically have levels that's sharp, and another one on top that's super blurred (I forgot the exact process). And blend the whole image to get the ghostly, magical, or mystical result.
