Using htaccess to redirect all pages but one to another domain

Question

My htaccess is as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.es$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.es$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/es [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?section=$1 [QSA,L]

Basically it's function is to redirect all domain alias (ie domain.mobi) to domain.com, except domain.es, that will be redirected to domain.com/es. Then there's another rewriterule that appends the query string (so in the background, domain.com/test becomes domain.com/index.php?section=test)

My problem is that now I need to exclude a url (www.domain.es/landing) from the redirection (so it stays in domain.es), and I can't make it work. I've tried adding this condition to the first two rules to exclude the page:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/landing$

but then it goes to www.domain.com/es?section=landing (not only still redirects to domain.com; the query string appears in the browser bar). Any ideas?

You can use these rules:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.es$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/landing[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/es/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/landing[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?section=$1 [QSA,L]
