Contributing Factors to a look

I see some heavy color correction there too. Looks like they brought down the whites and brought up the mids.
 
Looks to me like they used an epic amount of artificial sharpening as well, either in the camera or in post. Really high shutter speed -- you can clearly see the individual spokes in the wheels when the bike goes right in front of the camera.

I don't like either the sharpening or the tonal treatment that well -- the picture has no "bottom," or dark areas for the subjects to stand out from -- the result is rather gray and dull to my eye.

It's a nice demonstration of the crane, though. Makes me want one.

I can do without the sharpening too I guess, but as an effect, I am liking the narrow range of colors. Not something I want all the time but I like the feel of this.

Correct that it shows the crane off well. I am considering that crane.
