Why's this code not working?

I tried wrapping the <img src> element with a link, but it's also not working. What's the problem here?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png"/>
      <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png"/>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

I'm relatively new to this, but do the img src sections under the footer need a />. I thought it might be just >. Just wanted to see if I could find the bug haha.

Your image tags need alt tags for this challenge. You need to wrap the images in links like this.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <a href="https://facebook.com/yourprofile"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook"></a>
      <a href="https://twitter.com/yourprofile"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter"></a>
