757 PointsWhy is my photo more pear shaped then circle?
when i applied the code:
.profile-photo {
display: block;
max-width: 150px;
margin: 0 auto 30px;
border-radius: 100%;
My photo did not come out as a circle.. it was pear shaped. Is that because my personal photo dimensions are different to Nicks? If so, what is the best suited dimensions? As mine are currently w=1024 h=768

Yes

Use a picture that is a square instead of a rectangle
