Depending on what you want to achieve some painting may be necessary.

Do you mind sharing how to do it?

That is an extremely wide dynamic range, and I don't think you can completely get rid of that Halo. You could drop the exposure a little bit, perhaps. But my suggestion would be to enjoy the image for what it is.

Also asked in the PS forum. Here's what I replied:

I can tell you why it's happening. It's overexposed, and the red channel is severly clipped:

When one channel hard clips like this, a sudden change in color/saturation is inevitable.

First of all, see how much you can retrieve in the Develop module in Lightroom. However, I strongly suspect this is sensor saturation and there's nothing left to recover. That's a lot of photons for the sensor to digest...

It can be repaired in Photoshop, but it's a manual repair. You may be able to use the channel mixer to take some of the green channel information into the red channel, and limit it to the high end where the clipping occurs.
