It may take up to one day for your picture to be changed in all Google services.

Once you apply your picture, you'll be able to view and change it from your Gmail settings page. It will also show up as your picture in Google Chat. Likewise, picture selections made in Google Chat will be reflected in your Gmail interface, though there might be a slight delay for the change to take effect. If you have a Google Profile, changes made to your Gmail picture will be reflected in your Google Profile.
