Just messing about trying some different npr render approaches....

Nice style. But the foreground tree is drawing all the attention.

Hmmmm...... interesting observation Rich . have to mess with the landscaping and give it another go. thanks for the input.

The thing that I noticed here is that your background sky and background trees look almost photo-real in contrast to your model itself which has a subtle non photo real style applied to it.
It's always tricky to use photos and have them pick up the SketchUp style that you're working with.
I will sometimes take the photos that I want to use as background trees and or skies and or whatever and bring them into Photoshop and apply a similar style in Photoshop prior to putting them in your SketchUp scene that way they have a non photo real feel to them.Better yet is just to use 3D tree but they do add a lot of size to your SketchUp file and can make things kind of sluggish but they look so much better when a sketchy style is applied then photos do.
After you get that tree off to the side a little bit so maybe you just pick up the leaves and a little bit of the trunk I would also add some low foreground bushes right up under your chin as a viewer just giving the scene some depth that it's lacking. In other words you will have those bushes right up under your chin setting the foreground, that tree off to the left giving you a middle ground, the house itself being the main focal point, and the distant sky and trees as the background, it'll make the whole scene feel more convincing.

Paul, I appreciate your input. I'll have to get back into the model when time allows and try some things out. This type of rendering is really off the path of what I normally do for my job. Just trying to bump up my overall skill set when I have the time and do like the input from the much more experienced users like Rich and yourself. By the way apologize for not responding sooner but have had some time off work and haven't been checking in here of late.

I like the overall "soft" look you used.
