Help with Task 1 Question (CSS Selectors Quickstart)

I keep getting asked if I am giving the bottom margin of the image 20px. which I am doing and can run in VS Code and see that it works. What am I missing?

Question: Create a selector that targets the <img> element that is a descendant of the <header> element. Apply a bottom margin of 20px.

Answer: header img { margin-bottom: 20px; }

this also works header > img { margin-bottom: 20px; }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */=-
header img {
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Combinators Challenge</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      <img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="foggy mountains">
    </header>
    <div class="main-content">
