I needed rounded corners only on the bottom of a responsive image. I started from @sandeep fiddle and improved it for my needs:

            .rect
            {
                height: 85vh;
                    position: relative;
                background-color: red;
                width: 60vw;
            }

            .circle-helper{
                display: block;
                width: 100%;
                padding-bottom: 50%;
                bottom: 0;
                left: 0;
                overflow: hidden;
                position: absolute;
                background-color: transparent;

                    }
            .circle{
                display: block;
                width: 100%;
                padding-bottom: 100%;
                // height: 500px;
                bottom: 0;
                left: 0;
                overflow: hidden;
                position: absolute;
                background-color: transparent;
            }

            .circle:after{
                box-sizing: content-box;
                content: '';
                width: 100%;
                height: 100%;
                -moz-border-radius: 50%;
                -webkit-border-radius: 50%;
                border-radius: 50%;
                background: rgba(0,0,0,0);
                position: absolute;
                transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
                top: 50%;
                left: 50%;
                border: 300px solid blue;
                }
                top: 50%
                left: 50%
                border: 300px solid blue
