The direct answer

A desktop crop can remove the important subject on a phone. Responsive layout needs to preserve the image's purpose, not only its aspect ratio.

A practical check

Compare the hero and project images across narrow and wide views. Check whether faces, products or relevant details are cut off.

Choosing the next step

Use suitable focal positioning or alternate crops where necessary. Keep image delivery efficient and avoid replacing accurate project imagery with fabricated evidence.
