You forgot to close the double quote <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg alt=""> It should be <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> and alt, attribute you could place some text in there, so when the browser unable to load the image or the image is error then, it displays the text that you place in your alt attribute value

Fadli is right (suggest copying response into an answer, so post shows as having been answered). The various treehouse code views (challenges, the text above) have highlighting to help with debugging. You'll note the src attribute color extends to include the alt attribute name. Any decent code editing program should be able to pick up on basic html structures errors and give you visual cues to direct you to where the problem occurs.

On your first <img> element you're missing a closing " on the file name.

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

instead of 

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

You forget to close the double quotes

Your actual: <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg alt="">

It should be: <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
