Probably because your image is bigger than 5 MB–currently our server cannot handle images larger than that. Please consider resizing your image and try it again.
Currently, we pay a $15/month sever maintenance fee to process images up to 5 MB. Accepting even larger images requires a better but more expensive server. Before we are able to upgrade, crop your photo if it is larger than 5 MB.
