Saturation or Painted Effect

Hi,

I was interested to get some opinions on how the richness of the following picture was achieved:

I have several professional pics by this photographer and it looks to me like he uses some sort of slight painting effect to achieve looks like this.

Looking for some opinions. Thanks a bunch.

First, the image was properly exposed, probably using fill light and/or a contrast filter (of the motion picture type, not a color filter.) The rest is just good curves and hue/saturation rendering - ordinary stuff.

Thanks for the input.

Could you possibly send a reference link for this type of contrast filter.
