Opinions, opinions everyone's got one

I found a suggestion by Derrel and JC on books by John Hedgecoe, to be great resources on a number of things. I have this one, really good the art of digital photography, john hedgecoe - Google Search or The Book of Photography by John Hedgecoe ... Great How-To Book | eBay

This one is dated, but a lot of the same principals still apply the complete photography course, by john hedgecoe - Google Search

And lastly this one: how to take great photographs, joh hedgecoes - Google Search

He seems to explain things in a simple manner.

I do have one of his books already and it's very informative.. I will be looking on eBay for more of his stuff... thanks a bunch

Sounds like you're on a roll. Hedgecoe covers color harmony a little, but while your waiting for them to come in you might do a little Internet reading on the subject. Here's one link Color Relationships: Creating Color Harmony - Sensational Color

There are three primary colors red, blue and yellow. Secondary colors are mixed from these three. In addition to knowing how colors relate to create harmony you also need to remember that primary colors advance and secondary recede. If you put a primary like the blue sky in your image background it's going to advance an overpower your foreground decreasing depth. Likewise to make the background recede you need to use a primary in the front and secondary in the rear
