David Hill is a photographer that is getting mentioned quite a bit lately. A Google search will turn up several hits, including images of his works: David Hill Images
In some the colors have a HDR look, while others are rather desaturated, but they all have high contrast.
I offer you two tutorials which are pretty short and have several steps in common, but the end results are somewhat different. I had a lot of fun playing with both of them and coming to appreciate the common thread between them. I hope you have fun too!
The first one is a video and has colors that are more like an HDR image: Learn Photoshop Elements - Dave Hill HDR effect
The second one is text-based (in step 11 use a Gaussian blur like is done in first tutorial), and yields a more desaturated end result: The Dave Hill Effect
Here is one of several of the images I came up with using these ideas (I added a strong vignette at the end)
