Does anyone know how they did this? How did they boost the contrast so much without blowing out the details in the whites? And how did they make the colors so vibrant and punchy?

Looks like mostly curves and levels to me with a touch of HUE/SAT.

I use Curves and high-radius Unsharp Mask to boost the contrast.

For the latter, for a DPC_sized image, try USM at (Photoshop settings) amount 15%, diameter 50, Threshold 0 -- move the first two numbers up and down a bit until you get the effect you want, but leave the TH at 0.

"AND, just for good measure... a DVD of the high resolution files is included in all of our packages, so if you don't appreciate what we can do for the images, we still give our clients the option to get their files printed on their own."

I'm assuming those are the original, unadjusted images ...

Oh, for sure. I am just fascinated to see that here's a pro who will deliver his original files WITH the prints. That's not normal at all...

The photo of the chairs with the sky and clouds looks really overdone, IMO. The sky is a shade of blue the likes of which I've never seen. ;-)
