The lights are blown and obviously not fully recoverable from the get go. On the leaves simple spot healing in photoshop with a suitably sized brush will suffice and the branches removal by a simple lasso tool, followed by patch tool.

If you are serious regarding post processing, lightroom is the poor relation to photoshop and even more so  now photoshop Camera Raw and Lightroom recently added masking etc are one and the same engines.

Lightroom whilst it has its strengths for basic post production, it is far behind Photoshop dependant how far you wish to go

in Post processing as well as photoshop having advantages over lightroom as regards Topaz Denoise/Photo AI intergration

including full Raw file processing.

Hope this helps.
