Good on you for being out at the right time of day and recognizing the potential of the scene.
This is a good image despite the glare, and most PP would minimize the glare but also the presence of the mist, so it is tough to fix via PP.
Understanding that light and mist only last so long, changing your position, and POV 3 or 4 steps to the right and a bit lower might have allowed you to get the sun rays, and mist in the scene, without as much glare, and without that bent branch coming in from the left side . I often have to remind myself to change position and height in situations like this as well.
