Check your closing ul tag in the section section. You have an extra forward slash..

Hi,

The following line looks to be incorrect:

</ul/>

You'll need to change it to:

</ul>

Although I don't think that's the issue.

The challenges can get quite specific. It doesn't ask you to include the anchor (link) tags wrapped around the image or a paragraph tag. It's also asking for 3 images instead of just 1.

It should look something like this:

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

Hope that helps :)

Just take another look at your closing <ul> tag in this section of code. 

      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p>
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul/>
