.photo-desc overlay behind .photo img

Hi, Could someone tell me which elements, properties, and values make .photo-desc overlay hide under .photo img in the css?

The combination of perspective and translations locate the elements in virtual 3-D space. The initial arrangement places one of the photos forward and visible and keeps the description hidden.

In the next few videos, you will add action transforms to change the positions when you hover the mouse over the images, and bring the description to the front.

Thank you, Steven. I was wondering how the description was hidden before translations and perspective in the main.css file. I guess it's the z-index in the .photo-container img property?

The eventual effect with the rotating cubes works with perspective and 3-D translations and doesn't rely on z-index, which is a 2-D layering technique.

Glad I could help. You can mark the question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
