Very nice colors indeed, Alexander. The clouds look a bit noisy, maybe running a noise reduction program would help. I may crop a bit off the bottom to get the thin line at the lower left off.

Hi Alexander,
Very good recommendations by Fabs on the crop and noise.....this will help greatly. You may want to pull back on the Yellow saturation just a bit as it appears you are getting a bit of color bleed. Another possible thing to try is adding a bit of black in selective colors to the black channel.....just to make the silhouette pure black.
Overall well composed and the sun was placed well in the frame..... a few PP'ing tweaks will help this greatly.

Hi Alexander......I feel I led you in the wrong direction.....I took your OP and lasso'd a bit around the sun (all the reds)....then lowered the saturation on the reds only!....this kept the beautiful golden tones in the sky. I then selected the lower area and added the black and then cropped. Sorry for steering you to lower the yellows.....it was the reds and the repost will show what I did.
