Why is there a gap after the second photo when I use float: left;?

I followed the course and checked my code even googled for an answer but came up with nothing. Im doing something wrong but I can't find the answer. After my second photo on my site, I get this space another picture should be but nothing is there BUT the picture that should be there has moved over to the other spot. Any clue why it would do this?

Nathan,

Try reducing the margin to 2% and adjust accordingly.

Also if you can attach a screen shot of the webpage. I personally had the same problem in the beginning but its probably just the margins.
