Custom rounded shape image using CSS

Question

I want to get a custom-shape image as shown here:

#oval-shape {
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  background: blue;
  -moz-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 100px / 50px;
  border-radius: 100px / 50px;
}

<img id="oval-shape" src="http://d152j5tfobgaot.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/internship_yourstory.jpg">

DEMO

Any thoughts if this is even possible?

Answer 1

There is one way you can "fake" this shape with border:

body {
  background: purple;
}
#oval-shape {
  display:block;
  margin: 20px auto;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  background: none;
  border-radius: 100%;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border-bottom: 50px solid transparent;
}
