Djouce

Djouce, at 725m, is the seventh tallest mountain in County Wicklow, Ireland. The mountain, as typical of the rest of Ireland, was clearfelled during the 17th and 18th centuries, mostly due to the need of wood for shipbuilding. An artificially planted Sitka spruce plantation now lies on its eastern slope. The Wicklow Way, the oldest way-marked route in Ireland, is visible to the left, crossing over the River Dargle as it falls towards Powerscourt Waterfall, the tallest waterfall on the island.

• Oppose the mountain itself is fuzzy and the immediate foreground is littered with jpeg artifacts.--HereToHelp 22:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, is there no better version? The quality of this one is too low unfortunately.--Svetovid 22:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately not, it was taken last summer with a poor HP, although I should be able to go back with something a lot better in a couple weeks... Conor Campbell 11:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose The 'halo' effect at the mountain-sky joining region is a typical artefact of not great photoshopping. --Javit 10:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. The quality is too low. Looking at the deforestation article, nominate 'View from macmillans lookout - benambra.jpg' instead.--Svetovid 17:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
