Hi Brent

You're getting there :) Image tags are slightly different to others in that they are self closing. They don't have a closing tag like ul or li.

To do an image tag you'd write something like this .

<img src = "numbers-02.jpg" />

So your code in the challenge would be more like

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

I added some closing list item tags to the code too, to help you out. :)

Good luck.

Hi Brent - you are quite close, remember you need to close out your li with the </li> tag. You also need to enclose the image elements in tags, like below:

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

Hope this helps.
