I used precise (using "apply image") masks to target lights and blacks separately. I also used custom sharpening techniques and coloring. Lightroom(basically only the Camera Raw tool which is also available in PS) only gives you a brush to work with. Photoshop gives you all the freedom in the world :)
"Open link in new tab" to see the layers closer

I use Lightroom for fast and light edits. For the heavy lifting Photoshop comes into play.

Yes the masks and layers in Photoshop are very versatile and you can isolate very small parts easily. Thanks for the tip.

As usual you do wonder to a photo which many people would have given up.
Good think I saw this not as soon as it's posted because these comments here are interesting to know too. :-)
