it may be because its over 40kb. try reducingteh quality as well and it should upload if you have resized it to 150x100pixels

I have tried to reduce the photo but i am going wrong some where.

Ed, in Photoshop Elements, go to Image>Resize and type in the size you need the image to be in the top boxes (make sure you have pixels as the units) bearing in mind the sizes given in the site rules.

Save as a jpeg and compress enough to keep inside the file sizes.
