Elk on Mountain

This is a composite image.
Both the background and the elk are my images. Both images were taken on the same day and in the same general time and area. Both images were processed in Affinity Photo and cycled through legacy Topaz plugins.
The background was taken from a ridge overlooking “West Horseshoe Park” and the “Alluvial Fan” on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Very well done composite. It all goes together very nicely. Did you only use Topaz on the background? I like that the Elk looks more natural. The combination keeps the background from distracting from the Elk.

Great to see you again, Claud! I love your result. Is the old Topaz Simplify involved? I've switched from Elements to Affinity but also to the new M1 Mac from Windows and have been wondering if there's any way to get Simplify into my system

Yes, I used Topaz Simplify for the whole image, but enhanced the elk by overlaying the original elk and blending it into the background.
Thanks!

Integrating Photoshop plugins is easy, at least on a PC. Install the plugins as normal, open Affinity Photo, go to 'Preferences,' click on Photoshop Plugins, check the box to allow unknown plugins to be used, select the folder where the plugin is located, and then restart Affinity Photo. The plugin should be found under the menu Filters/plugins.

Thanks. Simplify is on my Windows computer; I'm now an Apple gal 
With a bit of struggle, I was able to get DxO's newest version of Nik Collection to act as a plug-in to Affinity on the Mac, however.
Appreciate your time.
