I agree with @mr-quebec about the scenery and the telephone wires/lines. Unfortunately, that problem is so common, that it’s almost enough to make a photographer cry! There are, however, some measures we can take to alleviate the problem. One thing I often do is, zoom with your feet! Move forward until they are out of the frame. Sometimes it’s as simple as changing the angle of your camera. You might just have to move around a little to try a different composition that will exclude the ugly lines. Good job on the composition, at least the sun isn’t smack-dab in the middle of the frame!
Something you could keep in mind for next time…
I would recommend that you lower your ISO speed, so that if you want to bring out the shaded area below the sun, you can without introducing a whole lot of noise. That’s the nice thing about shooting right into the sun, you usually can lower your ISO down as far as you want without getting an unusably slow shutter speed! Another thing I like to do when the sun is about halfway down, if you stop down (raise your aperture) to between f/16 and f/22, you can get a “sun-star” with several points.
We were driving through a cute little town in Southern Africa, when I saw this church just across from the filling station where we were refueling. I wanted a picture of it, but it was right in the middle of town with all sorts of distractions. I didn’t really expect to be able to find a way to get rid of all the distractions, but I was pleasantly surprised! By walking up and down the street, I managed to find a spot where you couldn’t even tell that it was right in the middle of town. Photographically and composition-wise, it’s not the greatest photo, but at least it’s not cluttered with street signs, telephone lines, and cars!
