Photoshop is only the means to reach the end goal if you know what that end goal is. What colors, what lighting techniques etc. Give me the source photo and photoshop and I probably couldn't get there in a week, simply because I don't know what elements in that photo are the ones that move people.

Also more important I think are the posture and the look on Jimmy's face which should probably be attributed to good photography.
