This week's theme is "The Orton Effect". It's a technique where two similar are images are blended, one blurry and one sharp, for a distinctive effect. It can be done in-camera or easily in Photoshop with any image from your library.
A few examples are here (https://www.google.com/search?q=orton+effect&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi2t4bUiPjNAhUFmx4KHSSZCCcQ_AUICCgB&biw=2048&bih=1137).
