You really won’t know unless you put some strain on it. I mean it looks correct but the resolution of the photo doesn’t show how well your braid is biting into your leader.

Looks too loose. You shouldn’t be able to see the leader through the braid.

Looks like more wraps than I’d use, I opt for 23 with no issues yet. It also looks very loose. Once I finish my wraps and cinch my first half hitch, I pull my sleeves over my hands and wrap leader and main line around my hands and really tighten and strain the knot. Usually leaves me a little cut but haven’t had a bad FG with that method
