I had the same problem. There is a character limit for the URL. Two suggestions -

1) Open an account at PhotoBucket or ImageShack, or similar site. It's free. You can upload photos to your account and share photos from there.

2) When you download a photo from Google Images to your computer, before uploading it to the photo sharing site, rename it with a very short name.

This is what I did and it worked fine.
