The main picture was a surprise result of  simple layer combinations in GIMP. I now habitually do a couple of slightly different versions of a render , layer them in GIMP and play around.

1st image (main picture) is a simple layer combination of the 2nd and 3rd images in GIMP AO as bottom layer, Atmo as top layer (Divide mode)

2nd is the  normal render (with AO and shadows)

3rd is the render with atmosphere enabled (I turn off AO to do renders with atmosphere because AO+ Atmo seems to take forever)

4th is another simple layer combination in GIMP: Atmo as bottom layer, AO as top layer (Dodge mode).
