There are certainly some amazing and inspiring images on that site. It's not easy to tell, but the image you mentioned looks like it has been either converted to black & white or has been heavily desaturated, and then hand-tinted. You can do this fairly easily in Photoshop by removing the colour from your original image (or a copy on a new layer) and then painting the new colours on with the brush tool's painting mode set to Color. It's not essential, but I find it useful to add each new colour on a separate layer, too.

Hope this helps.

PS: Actually, I think René Asmussen might be a guy.
