An image has to be a square in order for the styling to make it into a perfectly round circle. (example)

The following bootstrap styling is applied to the img-circle element:

.img-circle {
    border-radius: 50%;
}

Therefore if the image is rectangular, you will generate an ellipse-like shape. If you want to work around this, you would have to apply a mask over the image. Alternatively, you could probably also clip it.
