Podcast RSS feed not being accepted by iTunes

I have registered my main podcast RSS feed in iTunes successfully. I want to migrate this RSS feed from feedburner to PowerPress, but I want to prototype it first before I move the real feed. To that end, I created another Blogger blog site and Feedburner rss feed that has the same settings as my main feed. The feed is using SmartCast to configure the RSS feed for iTunes compatibility.  I cannot get the test feed to load into iTunes though. I get this error message:

 

Podcast cover art must be at least 1400x1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.

 

I had the artist give me a 1400x1400 pixel version of the logo in RGB color space (I’m not sure how to verify this).  Here is a link to the logo, if anyone can tell by looking at the picture or site what is wrong that needs to be fixed. http://s24.postimg.org/lvuuf7v91/ARP_logo_i_Tunes.jpg

I have read as many forum posts as I can to try and solve this issue and nothing has worked so far. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my image or RSS feed that is causing iTunes to reject the feed?

 

Attached is the RSS feed.

Thank you for your help.

That image is only 1280x1280 pixels.

Thank you for that information. I will have to see why that is. Maybe its the site I posted it to. Any recommendations for sites to store the photo on?

I was able to use ImageShack and they did not resize the image. iTunes now accepted the feed. Thank you for your help
