Get used to post-production. Your XSi came with a disc of software called EOS Digital Solutions. It includes a photo editing software that will help you make your pictures pop more, after-the-fact. The G37 photo looks as if the photographer played with a host of things (Levels, contrast, exposure, and certainly saturation).
A second option is to get used to Picture Styles on the camera. You can set up a custom style with increased sharpness, contrast and saturation levels all in-camera. The best thing for anyone new to the DSLR world to do is read the instruction manual. When I got into DSLR photography, I read the manual of my XTi front to back.
But the greatest tip of all: Just keep shooting.
