Lightroom Masking for Landscapes

I'm seeking a skilled Lightroom editor who is proficient in creating difficult masks, most likely manually.

It's an image, really a "portrait", of a tree. There are trees in the background that blend into the subject, making it difficult to make the tree in the foreground stand out and apply directional lighting to the subject and minimize the background. I need the tree to stand out. It will be a large black and white image. The primary task involves:

- Masking the trees in the background to make the subject tree in the foreground stand out more so I can apply lighting effects to the subject. The subject's leaves and branches are blending into the background leaves and branches each . This will be a 5 foot x 5 foot print so the mask needs to be precise. It's a color image but will ultimately be a black and white print.

Ideal skills and experience:

- Proficiency in Lightroom, especially in masking techniques.
- Strong eye for detail in landscape photography.
- Experience with trees and foliage masking is a plus.

Looking for high-quality, professional results.
