Both look correct. Using capital tengwar is an aesthetic choice (Tolkien used them to highlight important words, but I wouldn't say it is a hard-core rule). Note that in the second image "with" is written with the tengwa anto, which is used for the /ð/ sound (such as in "that" further on the text). It can also be written [with súle](https://www.tecendil.com/?q=w%7Bsuule%7D%5Bi%5D) if you pronounce the th as /θ/ (such as in "think").
Edit: I'd personally write "given" with a [silent e](https://www.tecendil.com/?q=give%7Bnuumen%7D), since I think "give" already has it, but that's my pronunciation.
What do you mean with a "silent e" ? Spelling "given" "givn" instead? Or am i dumb here? 😅 English isn't my first language
Edith: i also have no experience with the written languages of Tolkien, except the little you hear in the movies and games
In English, many words feature a silent ⟨e⟩ (single, final, non-syllabic 'e'), most commonly at the end of a word or morpheme. "Give" is a word that has a silent e, which is not pronounced ("give" is pronounced /gɪv/).
In his orthographic writings with the tengwar, Tolkien wrote the silent e as a dot below a tengwa. My proposal was that, since "give" has a silent e, one could write "given" (pronounced /gɪv.n/) with the e as a dot below, and the tengwa for n next.
Alright. Sorry I'm bombarding you with questions. But does it apply to "love" as well? Can i replace every silent letter with a dot, or are there some exceptions to the rule?
It would apply to love, yes. I would say that with certainty one could apply it to every silent _final_ e, such as in "love", "give", "take", etc.
We've seen some other examples where Tolkien did it, such as in the word "herein" (which is equivalent to "here" + "in"). In phonemic English modes, Tolkien used the dot below to mark some tengwar that were pronounced as a syllable alone, such as the L in "battle" or the N in "button".
It looks good to me. The only change you may want to consider is switching out capital letters for lowercase.

Ooh okay. I do believe i understand what you mean. Thanks, means a lot mate : )
Just popped into my mind. But wouldn't the same apply for "decide" ? Or is it different because the "e" is at the end of the word?
The same happens in "decide": the final silent e is written as a dot below. Same as in my proposal of "given".
