Stop Background Image from Stretching

Hey everyone,

Is there a way to keep a background image from stretching too much? Here is my css for my background image:

    background-color: #a1c7dd;
max-width: 100%;
background-image: url("Netsoft_body_photo.jpg");
background-position: center;
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

I would like to make it responsive so that it will not stretch after it reaches a certain size.

Hey Jonmark! I would use the following:

background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
