How do one get such color intensity.

Im new to photography and i was wondering how do one get such color intensity like in the picture below.

Do they use photoshop and tweak something? If yes what do they tweak and how?
Im not lazy but i really would like to learn and master too.

You reduce the Contrast (notice the absence of bright whites and deep blacks in this shot!)

You also shift the Tint toward cyan (notice the tinge to the skin and white shirt!)

And perhaps increase color Saturation.

Frankly this shot looks horrible to me, but if that was the look that the person was after, then it met their goals. I just wonder if it is the posting on Flickr of a badly done shot by a rank amateur!

Most likely done in post processing.

If you don't mind me asking, what web browser are you using?

I have a preset in silver efex pro that mimics that effect. I never really found a use for it yet.

Reduced contrast and saturation. That's not an intense color, it's washed out.

That's what I was thinking as well.

OP...are you sure you linked us to the right picture?

If those color look intense then the web browser doesn't have color management, and/or, the monitor is in need of some serious calibration.
