Hard to say for sure. Possibly a combination of different processing methods. It does look like there is some HDR processing involved, though. You might be able to e-mail the photographer, and ask.
Topaz Labs makes a bunch of photo processing programs that can produce these types of effects. I think (not really sure) the basic "Topaz Adjust" program is what many people use.
