Hey Palash, if you share your code it would be much easier to help out. You can copy and paste it in to this post (refer to the markdown cheatsheet for how to wrap your code so it's easy to read). If it's a lot of code or if it would be useful for us to see the whole workspace then I recommend sharing a workspace snapshot. Check out this helpful video by Nick on how to create and share snapshots, starting at 1:33. For this issue we'll need to see both the relevant HTML and CSS for the image.

It looks like you've got a typo in the selector.

Correct the spelling of .icon-loaction to .icon-location and you should be good to go, assuming there aren't any errors in the HTML.
