The Orton Effect - https://capturelandscapes.com/orton-effect-explained/

  It is a very high contrast technique and needed to used in diffused light or 
on a bright overcast day. Pain in the neck to pull off but has a nice glow and 
still enough sharpness.  There should be an easy PS equivalent.

Soft,sharp and glow, Mike
A Photoshop technique - duplicating and blurring one layer, however a lens 
blurs based on distance, hence the PS way is not quite the same as doing it 
with combining multiple exposures.

Have you tried the PS Filter=>Blur=>Lens Blur, with a depth map mask? <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Process/PS_Lens_Blur/PS_Lns_blr_mask.htm>

This simple example emulates a wide aperture, shallow DoF lens on a shot with high DoF. The mask is a simple horizontal gradient.

By playing with the Lens Blur settings and the mask, a wide range of effects 
are possible.

It's also possible to just do Gaussian Blur and mask the layer, but I think the specialized Lens Blur tool is better for this.
