It says I need to add paragraph text right after the photo and I did. It keeps saying I didn't do it?

That is all the details. I can include a screenshot.

I'm pretty sure the challenge was just thrown off by the h3 and center elements that you added in between the image element and your first paragraph element within the section.

The wording on the challenge says, "Add some paragraph text about yourself below the image, inside of the section". I went back through the challenge myself just now, and kept my answer super basic, adding only exactly what was requested, and it passed: 

<section>
<img src="img/gratt.png" alt="Photo of Not Me" class="portfolio-photo">
<p>All about meeeee!</p>
</section>

Computers are very literal! Your html looks to me like it would work fine in a browser (though, I am curious what the empty center element is for), but is just a smidge more than what the code challenge was asking for.
