Thanks for your report!
Unfortunately, I removed both of your images from the page!
Here, take a look at them yourself:
When you compare these two next to each other, do you see the difference? The manipulated image is distorted, because you did not crop it correctly! You have to cut on the edges, not stretch/squish it in any form from the original proportions! We don't want such images on TMDb, because they loose quality and look strange. You can read more about this in general in our Contribution Bible here: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/image
Also, the original that you used is not the best quality we can get -> I found a better one on the official website here: http://mk2films.com/en/film/whisky-romeo-zulu/
I uploaded this original one in max size and manipulated it a bit to get one in the correct aspect ratio:

The manipulated one looks okayish to me; it isn't perfect (left bottom corner), but I can't do it better.

Hi Janar, great, thanks for your help ! I couldn't find any "official" image for this movie until your link... I learn to use Pixelmator on Mac, I just found the "crop" tool
So now, perhaps you could delete the other images (https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/3jprvZ4MoyvchUerj7Lke6esQEE.jpg and 2 others in spanish) which ratio is incorrect...
I'll take a look at TMDB bible !
Cheers ! Joël

Hi Joël, you're welcome!
"Google Image Search" is always my first choice to look for images, and official websites often have the best pictures (I've also seen they have some good backdrops on their site).
No, I want to keep them, at least for now. The Spanish one's are very tricky, because you can't crop them properly without losing parts of the letters left and/or right. In such cases, when you can't crop images properly, it's fine to keep those with incorrect aspect ratio. I uploaded another Spanish image that has the correct aspect ratio, but it looks a bit weird at the bottom, in my opinion.
I also want to keep the French one, because it's the original one and all proportions are correct. The one that I manipulated is a bit off when it comes to the margins towards the edges.
But this is my decision, and some of the image experts here on TMDb might be of different opinion and delete them, eventually ...
