Almost missed this one! I love this field Pete! Very nicely done! Quite a reasonable colour balance too. Even though colour & saturation is largely a matter of taste, I do agree with Greg about the green tint and, on my monitor (calibrated Eizo), the HII is a teensy bit salmon too.

No clue what HVLG is (other than a typical 4 letter PI acronym ) but in PS it's very straight forward using Colour Balance and Selective Colour tools. I tinkered a bit (to make sure I was right) - see below - hope you don't mind!
I threw in a bit of contrast enhancement for good measure. Perhaps I was a little brutal with the saturation but the green is largely gone and the HII is slightly pinker plus the fainter HII is more visible.

Regardless of my impertinent tinkering , you've got a fine image here Pete!
