Bruce -
I like the helter skelter feeling of the the stairs - nd the shadows on the dune are nice too.
The house is nicely contrasted by the sky.
What doesn't work too well for me is that it feels like there are 2 main elements, the house and the stairs, but the way they are positioned doesn't really let me focus on either one, if you know what I mean. They sort of collide rather than complement, imo.
