Wrong but not wrong

Hi, I am doing exactly what it's telling me to do, and then it says I'm wrong. It says I haven't put a name of a file, which I have done. And I cannot move on without getting it correct. Specifically: "numbers-01.jpg"

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>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
             <img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
             <img src="numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
             <img src="numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

The exact thing it is telling you to do is add three image elements. What you have done is added three link elements with images nested within them. That is different enough from what the task asks that it marks it as wrong. The error message is pretty misleading, but sadly that is not that unusual for these challenges.

If you remove the link elements and keep just the image elements 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>

Then your code will pass.
