I would use the Brush Tool on a layer mask. Set the Brush Tool to 100% Opacity, !00% Flow and anywhere from 50% hardness to about 75% depending on where I was working. The softer the edge of the object being selected, the softer I would make the brush.

First make a duplicate of the images and use Shadows & Highlights to reveal whats hidden in the shadows. You will work on this layer and when done, you will move (copy) the mask you create to the original or a duplicate of the original.

Place a white and a black layer beneath the working layer. This will help you in seeing what you may have missed.

The rest is just brushing. Zoom in when needed.

It goes very fast, the whole thing only took me about 6 mins. The beauty of masks is that they can always be refined.
