Hello @octaviusx,
There seems to be a misunderstanding about the kinds of images we allow (here and on Hive). The source has to be public domain. A few of these are Pexels, Unsplash and Pixabay. You have to make sure that it is public domain for commercial use, because Hive is considered commercial use. It's commercial because it is monetized.
The story looks good. Well written. We would like to curate it with the proper image. Thank you.
