Infra Red - Magenta Overload

[Dreadhead]

Hello Folks,

I have been having a bash at taking shots with an R72 filter and my Canon 600D with 15-85mm.

One consistent problem I am having is that there is always way too much magenta in my images.

I have played around with the white balance, setting it to various shades of local foliage or grass if available, but I am having real problems getting that classic look.

An example of my work is as follows:

I suppose I am looking for more white foliage in the images.
Does anyone have any advice for the next steps in photoshop or lightroom?

Another issue which you can see to the left of the panorama is the hotspot appearing in frame.
I have found I can mitigate this by using smaller apertures and not shooting into direct sunlight, but are there any tips for removing these in post?

Thanks

Thanks for the tips. I will have a bash trying both methods and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again.
