The problem is that older keyservers don't like photo IDs.  You have
a few possibilities as to how to proceed:

1) Use a better keyserver.  subkeys.pgp.net is a good choice.  Also
   try sks.dnsalias.net.

2) Send your key to the bad keyserver like this:

   gpg --keyserver-options no-include-attributes --send-key xxxxxxx

3) Delete the photo before sending the key to the bad keyserver.

   gpg --edit-key xxxxxx
   (select the number next to the photo ID)
   deluid
   save
