Can't center an image in the browser

Hi there

So it's been three days and i'm stuck trying to center an image with thick borders with a paragraph (View the 1st picture), i searched and watched tutorials but still when i try it out nothing changes...

Also i can't get it to work as a responsive element, the idea is to have a responsive website, but when shrink the browser's width, the image stays as it is, it doesn't shrink with it, i have a full width image in the top of the page that shrinks responsively, no problem, but this won't...

What am i doing wrong here? any suggestions? i'd appreciate some help!

HTML

<section id="showcase">

     <div class="container">

          <div class="box1">

               <img src="img/Box1.jpg" alt="Original, Noimitation">

               <h3>Original</h3>

               <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Harum recusandae, necessitatibus in suscipit cupiditate, illo temporibus maxime ducimus beatae optio ab odit, animi voluptate eligendi itaque. Voluptatum quisquam nobis minima!</p>

          </div>

          <div class="box2">

               <img src="img/Box1.jpg" alt="Original, Noimitation">

               <h3>Original</h3>

Replace the css you are currently using with the css below. To allow your images to be responsive don't set them to a fixed width.

#showcase{

width: 60%;

margin: 0 auto;

}

#showcase .box1 { 

border-top-right-radius:100px; 

border-top-left-radius:100px; 

background-color:#FFFFFF; 

padding:75px;   

} 

#showcase .box1 img{ 

border-top-right-radius:50px; 

border-top-left-radius:50px; 

max-width: 100%;

height: auto;

}

#showcase .box2 { 

padding:75px;

}

It worked, so i shouldn't set a specific height or width in order for it to be responsive...

Thanks a bunch!
