could use your help and instruction...If I can get this image to look more SILKY and SMOOTH and CRISP and DETAILED that would be all I could ask for...

I feel my PP done here is just not good enough if I was more experienced and capable...IMO it looks dull, flat and lacks vibrancy, and dynamic color and contrast....

Please help with some guidance and instruction...Feel free to PM if you'd like

Here is my go on your image.

Main problem IMO is the time of photography.
Near noon images especially under African Sun won't do too much good to the colors either on film or sensor. If you would try this at 6 to 8 AM you would have no problem to achieve most of what you wanted from color.

Try to learn about Color Kelvin temperature and how to handle it. RAW would be good option when not sure as it lacks the WB so you can play with it in PP but that is not what you want to do.

Well I added sharpness, selectively burned part of image, color correction and brightness / contrast play. Then added a layer of green shade to the vegetation with property changed to overlay. merged. redid for ground with brown. I am not satisfy yet but if I were you, I would plan to see these beauties in the right time of day to suffer less later. َAs file size is large and POTH accepts only smaller than 150K images, and didn't wanted to compress so much to destroy the quality fully, I uploaded on a free site with a link here.َ

BTW did I say I must kill those who get to know about my secrets?

Few image form me.
All images shoot in jpg straight of the camera with no PP except resizing / compression for web.
