Fletch, you are right, the shadows do become a bit too fuzzy, I take it that will be reduced if I reduce the radius of the light casting the shadows?
Ward, ha ha, its good that you prefered my render over the photo! 
For soft shadows in the light settings there is a check box to cast 'soft shadows' just click it.
Thanks for the comments! Might look to making minor ammendments or I may move on to bigger and, hopefully, better things.

I have been learning Kerkythea lately, can I just say what a fantastic program it is! and as a result I have finally managed to produce a rendering I am 'happy' with.
It is just a test model to make sure I was picking things up right, however any comments or criticism much appreciated!
Photo also attached that inspired the model.

impressive, your demonstration what is possible with a pure SketchUp render
I totally agree, couldn't believe that this is pure sketchup. Well done.
Only minor criticism is the foreground tree. Not sure if it is really convincing or necessary.
Hi,
some images of my last sketchup model, its nothing thats going to push the frontiers of sketchup or anything, but I thought I would post them and introduce myself nonetheless.

ps. I have been using Sketchup for a couple of years now, but still consider myslef a novice compared to some of the members here. I am still amazed at the level of some of thte images/ models posted. Simply Inspirational!
