next.js tailwind-css responsive-design javascript

I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with an scenario with the Next.js Image component when using it alongside Tailwind CSS for responsive design. My images are not scaling correctly on different screen sizes despite setting `layout='responsive'`. I've set fixed width and height in my Tailwind CSS classes, but the images appear stretched or squished. Here’s a snippet of my code: ```jsx import Image from 'next/image'; const MyComponent = () => { return ( <div className="max-w-sm mx-auto"> <Image src="/path/to/image.jpg" alt="An example image" layout="responsive" width={700} height={475} className="w-full h-auto" /> </div> ); }; ``` I've tried adjusting the `width` and `height` props to match the aspect ratio of the image, but the question continues. When I inspect the element, I see that the Image component is applying a fixed height to the image based on the dimensions provided, which doesn't seem to respect the responsive layout as expected. I also ensured that Tailwind is configured correctly to not override any styles accidentally. Furthermore, I have the following Tailwind configuration: ```js tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { extend: {}, }, variants: {}, plugins: [], }; ``` When testing, I noticed that the images appear correctly when I hardcode specific dimensions instead of relying on Tailwind's utility classes. This leads me to believe there might be a conflict between the Tailwind CSS classes and the Next.js Image component's responsive settings. Has anyone encountered this scenario before? How can I get the images to behave responsively without distortion while still using Tailwind CSS? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
