A few points:
* Round edges is contemporary and definitely can be professional. In fact,
sharp edges have a '90:s air to them and should be avoided unless they're
designed very well.
* I am one of the significant minority that gets headaches from bright
backdrops. All my UI:s are set to dark colours. Your mock-ups presuppose
white backdrops, which not only looks bad for us with dark colour schemes
but also is actually painful. I would recommend that the colours
auto-adjust, or that you prepare a dark scheme too.
The basic design is nice though!
