The type context of /home/imagenesDBD is home_root_t.

SELINUX will only allow type context httpd_sys_content_t.

You should change the type of security context and it can be done by running 

$ sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /home/imagenesDBD

Here you can found chcon manual chcon

Every directory from document root up to server root needs to be executable in order for apache to traverse.

Make home and root executable

sudo chmod +x /
sudo chmod +x /home

Also make sure you actually have an index page or Options Indexes
