I took a few photos this last weekend. I figured I’d run them through roundpic.com to see how they look with rounded edges.
Here’s one sample – it’s a Kousa Dogwood.
Square Edges:
Rounded Edges:
The rounded edges are pretty cool. It gives a different feel and adds more character. Check out roundpic.com to test out your own image. The only downside I noticed with using roundpic.com is that it can strip Adobe color profiles from images causing colors to be slightly different. Check the two images above and you’ll see the correct color profile in the squared version (if your browser recognizes color profiles; Safari does), and stripped color profile in the rounded version. Oh well. Maybe 2.0 will solve this little side-effect.

Hello! I just wanted to tell you I really like this blog. Great images, and great info!
I found it while searching for info on replacing the HD in a late 2006 iMac
.
Just happened to stumble onto this. Your image is the blossom of a Kousa Dogwood which is an Asian dogwood variety. When you have a tree in full flower you can’t see the branches – the flowers stand on top of the stems so when the flowers are open all you see is a blanket of white. An absolutely gorgeous tree in full bloom.
Thanks laj!! I’m glad you were able to help with the name!
