Your issue is simple, from what I've seen on your code, you didn't use the right alpha on your rgb function background:rgba(0,0,0,0.7) in the styles.css file for your #overlay selector ; the last digit should be 0.7 for semi-transparent but not 7, you wrote 7 which means nothing and the entire overlay becomes black. your code however is not complete, you haven't added an image yet and the remove functionality is still not added. Hope this makes sense.
