This week may seem extra challenging to you.  Just think of balancing elements in photography as creating an image where all of the elements work together in harmony. 

For my "mature" example...  we have my mature husband hiking in an old-growth forest. There are also atmospheric elements of foggy haze and Autumn color. 

The elements all work together for a harmonious image including elements of atmosphere, color, and placement. Don't overthink your image...
