Hello @ismaca
I see you are new at Hive, so welcome. Though there are some important things you would be glad to know. For example, if you use a photo that is not of your authorship you should state it and source the photo properly, with the link to the site from where was taken. If maybe this image is yours, like a screenshot or a photo of the album you have at home, you can also mention that so there is no confusion.
About this community, what are the requirements and actually the purpose of it, you can read here. You can write your personal opinion, that way giving value to the post. This kind of post is not really what can stand out on Hive... But we were all one day at the beginning of this journey so I hope I could help a bit and encourage you to try to improve.
Greetings
