I'm sure we'd all agree that its a really wonderfull shot, but how does he get those colour tones ?

I can't seem able to get these sorts of colours and tones in my shots.
Is it all done in camera (ie something to do with top quality lenses and camera) or is a lot of it done in silicon (PS etc).

Anyone any technical hints for me ?
