Forgotten some of the details, but…

Believe I used Topaz simplify Then blended that into Topaz Studio with an emphasis on smudge.

Of course the beginning was an exposure-bracketed image with a fairly bright overall setting and the ending was a vignette using Alien Skin Exposure2

Also.
Found the bird at the Sedgwick County Zoo indoor tropical bird exhibit. Used a Sony 6300 and a 100-300 zoom lens with auto-ISO exposure
