can't get the img tag right

For some reason the exercise says I have not included an 'img tag'.

I have the code as follows (after the section tag):

<ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg> </a> </li> ....

I have it as such for the following 2 images. Can't figure out what's wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01/jpg">
          </a>
        </li> 
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-2.jpg">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers06.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>

Hi Maria.

      <ul>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"/></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg"/></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-06.jpg"/></li>
      </ul>

The challenge only wants that an image is added to the list item and nothing else. If you add thing that are not required you will not pass the challenge.

<a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01/jpg"> </a>

can you change the image src value as ""img/numbers-01.jpg". there is a '/' instead of a '.'
