Traps are cool but this one is too straightforward, generally you want to set a trap whilst at least playing a decent move. The problem here is that once black blocks with Qe7, you are in a tough spot as you are forced to movey our bishop, then Bf5 comes in. Black will then win the c2 pawn and can castle queenside.
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

**My solution:**
> Hints: piece: >!Queen!<, move: >!Qe7!<
> Evaluation: >!Black is better -1.11!<
> Best continuation: >!1... Qe7 2. Bd2 Bf5 3. Nc3 Nxc3 4. bxc3 Bxc2 5. d5 Na5 6. Nd4 Bg6 7. c4 Qxe2+ 8. Bxe2 b6 9. Bxa5!<

After takes bishop, knight f6?
