a bit under-exposed is it?

May not be under, could be your pp.

One thing to keep in mind when shooting IR. Shoot with the sun behind you, so that max sunlight falls onto the scene you want to shoot. That should give you consistent exposure on the foliage you want to capture, and after pp they will have the same colour.

Your #1, the sun is coming from the right of your scene. Look at the leaves of the palm tree. Those on the right are whiter than the ones on the left which are more reddish 'cos they're in the shadows.

The same is for your #2 also.

If you want to get consistent white colour of the palm leaves. Try in the Hue/Saturation adjustment, Red Channel reduce (-ve) the slider, watch the preview as you slide and stop when you deem you have the correct white.

teerex:

a very good point about the sun, and you even know where it was....wow.
Thanks for your valuable lessons on the PP stuff, much applicable to my shots.
