Can't validate podcast - Artwork error

Trying to upload my first podcast....

My feed url is http://jameswdinsmoor.com/feed/podcast

The error I keep getting is "Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests."

I've checked and re-uploaded the artwork several times, but the error persists across multiple browsers.

I thought it might be a problem with my Wordpress site, so I tried using Soundcloud as an alternative using the exact same artwork; however a SEPARATE error comes up there "No episodes exist in your feed." But the image appears to be fine.

(That url http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:641260389/sounds.rss)

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

I would guess that the problem is that the image isn't (quite) square at 2500 x 2493 px - the other parameters are OK. Just rework it to be square and hopefully it will be OK.
