Original – Stair Hole is a cove that is forming just to the west of Lulworth Cove in Dorset, southern England. In a few hundred thousand years it may be as large as nearby Lulworth Cove. The folded limestone strata known as the Lulworth crumple are particularly visible at Stair Hole.

Reason

A good depiction of the subject which clearly shows the important features -the arch and the vertical strata on the right.The image is of very high resolution and has no obvious stitching errors (there is one towards the right edge of the water, but it is not very noticeable). The people on the right give a sense of scale.

• Weak Oppose The little part of horizon that can be seen on the right seems to give a clue of severe tilt towards right (on the right side). Nothing that can't be fixed, but wonder if author is still active. And remember a picture of mount St Helens from him, which never was fixed. Also suspect that fixing would move up left part off frame. - Blieusong (talk) 05:29, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose partly per Blieusong, but mainly due to the weather conditions this photo was taken in. I know we aren't exactly famous for clear blue sky in Britain, but the dull grey clouds seem to wash the life out of this picture. A nice strong sunlight scene would make this much more appealing, and would bring the colours out better. As this can (with luck and timing weather wise) be retaken in better conditions I cannot support... gazhiley 13:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
