From the picture it looks like there are several issues. First are you sure that the bed height is correct as this will cause a variety of problems but in your case it looks too big an initial gap between bed and nozzle. This is a critical dimension and determines how well the filament adheres to the bed and the initial width of the extrusion to ensure no gaps. Secondly, good adherence depends on bed preparation; some use blue painters tape for PLA but I find that a solution of PVA glue and water wiped over the surface works best; the mix I use is 1 part PVA to 4 parts water and use ethyl alcohol (methylated spirit) to clean the bed; it also removes old PVA coating as well. Thirdly, nozzle temperature could be too low but the other issues may be masking this. I print PLA at 200 to 210 degrees. Lastly, print speed can cause similar problems so do try printing with a slower first layer printing speed.
