Problems with img tagging.

I am not sure where I have gone wrong with putting these images into the code. Can someone take a look and see what I am missing?

Thanks!

hey! It looks like you've got your <img> inside of anchor tags and he is only asking for the <img>. If you remove the <a> around each <img> i believe you'll be good to go. Here is one as an example. 

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

remove the a tags and the images aren't in a img file so remove the 'img/'

It should look like this;

<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>

Oooh. So the anchor tags I have in there are unnecessary? I thought that anchor tags linked the image to the page and the image tag tells the code where to find the image?

Still figuring this out!

Thanks!

the anchor tags turn the img into a link. In this code challenge however, he only wants the imgs and does not expect them to be a link.
