background image isn't fully visible

Hi all. I'm trying to add background-image to website but it isn't fully visible, background image appears too large and some parts of the image are cut off.

It should look like this http://www.mediafire.com/view/we4u2ftitb5n0kh/111.png

but looks like this, here is the screenshot http://www.mediafire.com/view/dcdvdr1mcq0anc6/screenshot.png

this is my code

body{
    background: url("img/111.png") no-repeat center center fixed;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
}

That's because the height of body alter the aspect ratio of image and this cut. Try to set a height to maintain image aspect ratio ;)
