Increasing exposure on leaves and tree

[Lloyd]

Hi Damien, 

I am still new to editing, I mainly use lightrooms but I am learning photoshop as I go and I am mid way through your Raw class. 

I have attached a SOOC, I have shot in raw and exposed to retain the sky with the thought of increasing the exposure in post. I am struggling with the exposure around the leaves, is there a way to do this with only selecting the leaves. 

Thank you

Hi Lloyd, please don't do any editing until you've finished the class.  This is all explained.

Thank you.
