So here is the thing with citing sources. If you make a factual claim that is not common knowledge it is best practice to cite a source, and if you use an image that you do not own copyright to you have to cite a source. But when you use your own photography you don't have to source. See my comment to @lavidaesunviaje RE my own assessment of this post's quality - in short, "good" but not quite up to the very high bar the reviewers hold travel posts to. You do definitely point out something that would make this a risky submission even if the post was exceptional - it is less likely to be approved as the 3rd post ever from the poster, with the intro post earning decently. However, it is important to note here that a truly exceptional post is always worth submitting to the reviewers and will most likely be upvoted. Ultimately the guidelines are there to help curators find exceptional posting, but they are just guidelines - they are not law that the reviewers have to follow. The reviewers will almost always bend the guidelines to upvote a truly exceptional post.
