    I’m having some difficulty reading your code because of a poor colour scheme, but my suspicion is that you’ve fallen into the common trap of thinking that "//div[2]" means "the second descendant div" whereas it actually means "every descendant div that is the second div child of its parent".

    The value of a attribute alt is not found with img/alt/text() but just with img/@alt

    Try this XPath:

    //*[@class="relative mr3"]/div[2]/img/@alt
