Something like this. Depends on your lens size. Alternatively, try adjusting white balance towards a higher Kelvin in the meantime.
Tiffen 85B is good as well.
Something I have been working with is Adobe Light Room. If you have that no filter is needed, shoot RAW and adjust color Temp to about 20,000 k and blue is gone.
Not sure what you are shooting but this guys guided helped me.

I like the orphek filter over all the tiffens if you can fit them on your lens. I shoot with aps-c, so i just use a step up ring. The tiffens are really saturated in orange for me.
I've found using both a filter and Lightroom together give me the most flexibility. I sometimes like to shoot when just the blues are running and it's too much for just color temp adjustments. I've tried a BUNCH of filters and the Tiffen 85B works best for me, although it took a while to get the filter after I ordered.
These were shot under mostly blues, and the color temp adjusted upwards. Pretty true to what the naked eye sees under that lighting.

Beautiful pic's! I have a Tiffen #16 Orange on order. Do you accomplish all this with the FREE Lighthouse app or to you pay for an upgrade?I've found using both a filter and Lightroom together give me the most flexibility.

The #16 is similar to the 85B. But not always needed with Temp adjustment in LR. Not sure but I don't think they have a free desk top Light Room. Maybe a free trial. I broke down and pay the 10 bucks a month.
I haven't tried the #16, but the Orange #21 didn't quite work. I use the full version of Lightroom, but did the download version instead of the subscription. Can't remember what I paid, but I do remember they make it VERY difficult to find how to order that way. Figured I wouldn't really care about updates etc as an amateur. Was def worth it though (although I'm not shooting as much as I used to).

Could you post what equipment you are using to take these great pictures? I need to do something different my phone does not take very good pics. Probably out of my price range though.

I use Canon T6i with Canon 100mm macro lens and tripod.

Question for you filter gurus, is this the correct filter specs? Looking for something as close as possible to the Orphek 85b gel filter.
