Facebook OpenGraph image cropped even with suggested size

I have just added facebook social plugin on my website (http://traveleagle.in) by setting up open graph meta tags. Based on recent guide, I have used a png image in og:image of size 600x315 which translates to recommended aspect ratio of 1.91:1. The problem is that even though the og:image displays correctly using Facebook's lint tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), the image on the sharing plugin appears cropped (154x154). I am meeting the minimum image size criteria yet plugins don't show the complete image and always crop it. Has anyone else had an issue similar to this?

I had similar problems. Try bigger image: 1146x600 and 1200x630 works for me. Still on some browers it does not fit correctly (like iPhone Safari), but it is a big image.
