My picture ends up being an oval, not a circle. Could this have to do with the size of my picture?

If your picture isn't a square to begin with, it won't turn into a circle - it will be an oval. This is expected. Rounding off a rectangle makes an oval :).
Also, note that you should really be setting the border radius to 50% rather than 100%. It doesn't have any effect over 50% (you could make it 1,000% and it would look the same), but just so you're aware, 50% is the max.
Happy coding!

1,567 PointsThat must be what it is. My original picture is rectangular. Thanks for the input, Greg!

23,118 Pointscan you post your code so we can see what the issue is? also what do you have the border-radius set to?
