Hello. Your request was denied not because there already is a second admin, but because you did not discuss having one of you promoted to bureaucrat with him. If you want to gain bureaucrat rights, please start a public discussion that everybody can comment on if they want, and, if nobody disagrees and the other admin agrees, make another request.

However, having bureaucrat rights will not let you change the permissions for image uploads. In this case, you need to have a community discussion, and if everyone (or at least you and the other admin) agrees, send a request to Special:Contact with a link to the discussion and request that the protection against image uploads be lowered.
