How do I get beautiful Gray notes and a pealescent look like this?

[pperez1981]

I've been noticeing this particular look that I want to recreate in my imgages and am not sure how. It's hard to explain but the look is this: smooth color tones which are vibrant, beaufitul grays, and a pearlescent whispyness. The images are soft on the eye, but still sharp in detail. Here is a link to Mike Graffigna's website. Many of his images have this look. Anyone know what he is doing with his post processing? How can I acheive this look? It seams like I'm noticing many Canon shooters have this look. Is this specific to Canon or is this being done with pp work? Thanks.

Oh lord... such a SLOW loading flash-based website. Also, I had a terrible time getting his annoying little "sidebar" to let me click on any photos at all. Can you perhaps link us directly to some examples, or explain more directly?
