Roger, ie. grasshopper, You have learned much!
I think you'll be fine with those concepts. Two thoughts that you might
consider 1) don't be afraid of zooming in and away from wide angle when
it suits you--and many times that's a gut feeling. Including too much
in a shot can ruin it. &2) Along with that don't be afraid of letting
the background get soft if it's not important. A background of a forest
might just look fine way out of focus as long as the subject matter (the
hero) is sharp. You'll find that stretching your technical know-how
will now start blending with the creative part of your mind--hopefully a
good thing!
