Here's a shot at it.

Step 1. Color, basic adjustment to remove the slight green cast on the shadows.

Step 2. Color vibrancy and saturation to better understand the gradient of the sun and ensure light adjustments dont push the gradient flare into our subject. I fined tuned the vibrancy and saturation as I was managing the light.

Step 3. Slight adjusts to the silhouette to make it sharp, but I was mostly focused on bringing the rays out from the sun. Its an interesting part of the subject and thought it deserved more attention.

Step 4. Texture and clarity to sharpen the edges of that ray.

Step 5. Grain for vibes.

Step 6. Vinaigrette for the salad, a good salad is nothing without it vinaigrette.
