I aligned the horizon and had a play with that over exposure on the sun. What can I say, I'm bored, LOL.
Not sure I like this much though. I'm no artist and I think I may have just winded up washing the colours out, but here's the idea at least. If you want to give it a shot yourself and see if you can do better, I pretty much kept making wand selections, applying 20px feathers, and fiddling the contrasts, brightnesses, and colour levels. Creating new layers with feathered blacks/yellows/oranges and fading the layer out, flattening the whole image and going through the process again until it started to look something like the original with a toned down sun. I seem to have accidentally bordered a little around that rock but I didn't intend for this to be usable, it's merely an example. Just keep your eye out there while you're fiddling the levels.
I did this in the GIMP but the process should be just the same in Photoshop, if that's your preference.
