Hey there! Your answer is correct, however you have an extra space between the 0 and #e59740. Always try and keep an eye out for spacing and indentation. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I gotta agree with Kris... everything looks good and I took the challenge with the code properly spaced below and it was right:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}
