I like the sun in this shot, it may be slightly cheezy, but I think its a way of visually showing something that can only be felt. At times I'll exaggerate such things to make sure the people I photograph are able to see clearly what is going on. Thank you all for all the comments.

I am curious if you might have one where the sun is hidden but you get the same color and rim lighting effect. I think that might be even stronger, as the sun really takes over this image.
