Round Edges on Images. Not a Magnolia.

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.

I took this photo at the top of a high-elevation vineyard using my Rebel XTi and a Canon 100mm macro lens.

Download and enjoy. The full-sized image is 1920×1200 and will easily scale down to 1680×1050.

Two More Desktop Images

Here are two more desktop images from photos that I took. One is a meerkat. I was hoping to get a portrait-style photo that day. Thanks to unusual patience and my Canon 100mm prime lens, I got the shot. This one reminds me of a corporate bio headshot. “J.P Meerkat, Vice President, Grubworm Global, LTD.”

The second photo is of an unrecognized breed of raptor (a.k.a. a bird of prey). It’s like a falcon, only smaller – even when fully grown. It was found in the Columbia Gorge area between the Oregon and Washington state lines. It’s a gorgeous bird, that’s all I know.

Enjoy the desktop images! (Personal use only, please!)

UPDATE: A very informed reader in Belgium informed me that the raptor above is a falcon sparverius, a.k.a. American kestrel. Thanks Hans!
