The problem seems to be in Smart Crop in layouts/partials/home/profile.html in header
Line: 8

It wants to determine crop box on its own, sometimes cropping already perfectly sized images.

I see two solutions here:

1. You could change the $authorImage.Fill "288x288" to $authorImage.Fit "288x288" to remove the problem, but then when the image is not 1:1 it will be squished
   

2. You could change the $authorImage.Fill "288x288" to $authorImage.Fit "288x288 Center" then image will be cropped based on center of image
   
   In case of 1:1 image it is ok, otherwise we don't really know what crop box location user of theme prefers, so maybe it should be configurable or at least mentioned in docs.
   Here it is center:
   
   Bottom Left:
   

The above applies also to layouts/partials/author.html

I suggest the second option #527
