I'm trying to say:

He probably gained some __________ [good notoriety] from this picture.

I was thinking publicity, but that connotes some kind of negative to me as well (like the stuff you see in gossip magazines at the checkout line).

I want a word as powerfully positive as notoriety is powerfully negative.

[Public] acclaim is the term I'd use.

acclaim ... noun

Enthusiastic and public praise.

‘she has won acclaim for her commitment to democracy’

• Lamboume's work is not widely known today, yet during the 1950s he received great critical acclaim.
