Do not understand what I did wrong. When I put in max-width: 500px it is telling me the wrong answer.

My max-width: 500px looks the same as their example but the quiz says that I am wrong.

It looks like you're adding the max-width:500px to the body instead of the img selector. You currently have the default of max-width:340px; on your img selector in the CSS.
