Code challenge - adding images link

Hello, I cannot see what I am doing wrong with the image inclusion link as I am getting an error although I can see nothing wrong and the preview works the same as the video.

Many thanks

It's not working because you have put your img tags inside of link/anchor tags. You have:

<li>
  <a href='numbers-01.jpg'>
    <img src='numbers-01.jpg'>
  </a>
</li>

When it should just be:

<li>
  <img src = 'numbers-01.jpg'>
</li>

Hi yes you didn't read the question properly it says; "Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or LINKS. Just the images!" So it should be like this, no links.

<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>
