What do you need to do to present your franchise zoo as a sandbox zoo?
I especially want to show how you can build a nice zoo with materials from the workshop and you don't have to be an expert in building it yourself. All round praise to all who release their beautiful builds for someone like me.
I have also taken photos that give a nice impression, but I keep forgetting how to use them, especially as a series I find that difficult.
I would also like it if someone could take a closer look at my zoo and provide comments before I make it public.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and I wish you all a nice weekend ;)

Save your zoo in sandbox, then you can upload it as a workshop item. Once it's in the work shop you can easily add screenshots to it for a slideshow. There you may also add information about the zoo and, if you like, give credit to any builders you might have used as a courtesy to them. If you want to get really involved you can record video of your zoo and upload that to youtube where it can be linked to your workshop item.

It should really be a round of applause for all those who give me the opportunity to play this game.

One may make an item in the workshop to be available to friends only or even set it to allow specific people.

Hope to see it ASAP (I’d like to know how to build something nice despite my lack of skills).
What’s the nome of your zoo?

If you are proud of your zoo then you should put it on the Workshop and not worry so much, if it doesn't do well or you change your mind about wanting to share it you can easily remove it later on.
I would be happy to comment if you share it and post a link here.
Also the link below might help you use the pictures you have taken.

Love to see what others are doing! I really love to see my creations being used in others' zoos.

Despite Moving Target_'s excellent explanation, I am unable to upload my photos. I'm just too much of a klutz.

I love the scenery work you did with your zoo especially the use of water, I am guessing the large building items are from the workshop like the Pyramids?
Some pics of your zoo on the workshop page would help sell it to people and it really isn't that hard, I am sure you can do it (klutz or not!)
Finally if you want to try and credit some of the uploads you used by name on your workshop page, you can find all your subscribed items by going to the workshop page and next to your icon mouse over the 'MY FILES' tab to get a drop down window and the bottom tab is SUBSCRIBED ITEMS - click on that to get a list of all your subscriptions and from that you can easily find the main ones to credit (also useful for just tidying up your subscription tab in-game)
All in all a very imaginative zoo with some beautiful scenery, thank you for uploading it! Well done!

Now that you have the zoo in the workshop It's fairly easy to add screenshots. Just check out the options on the right below the main picture.

I did subscribe and a quick tour seems to show a great use of items to make a fairly well themed zoo. Great job!

I have added all workshop items/builders to the description AND...*drumroll....I have finally managed to add more photos to my workshop item and name it as such:
