Nice render, bold colours. Mixing volume clouds with the clouds from the sky lab is not easy to get right. Sun flares, I hate them because they show the flaws in the lens. Here is a photograph I made that shows a low sun and the flares: http://www.horo.ch/photos/hdri/html/h00389_en.html for reference how the real thing looks (depends on the lens used, of course).

Thank you. In fact, I'm not very happy with the result. I had a few options. It is difficult to combine colors of haze and procedural and volumetric clouds. The foliage on the tree from the library. Maybe it's the influence of atmosphere and color of the sun? Here, in my opinion there is still a Radial Light in the foreground.

Your bold choices with the cloud and sky colours works well, indeed aside from as Rashad observed over the lens flair (which I object to simple on the grounds that I feel it has been overused in the computer graphics industry - such as every video game for the last ten years) the only thing I would question is the green of the tree leaves. 5/5

Nice colors. Great landscape. I usually like seeing flare effects, however when the sun is this low on the horizon it gets dimmed by the presence of such thick air, it tends to remove the flaring around the sun and indeed the disk of the sun becomes visible.
