of these I think i like the first pic best, that's a wild star effect you achieved, and the inclusion of the tree improves the composition. Shooting directly into the sun is tough, what did the sky look like a few minutes after it set completely, many times those clouds will still be lit up and you can capture some great shots without the sun being so overpowering... Also consider framing/composing the shot so that your focal point, in this case the sun, isn't directly centered...
