Code Challenge Error

I am trying to complete a code challenge and the computer won't accept my entry. I am supposed to change the border-radius to 100% and the max-width to 150px. I have set both and retyped them 50 times, yet I keep getting an error. Any clues of what to do?

HI Dimitrios - I think the problem is here is that although you have set the max-width property of the img to 150px further down in your css sheet you have the img tag with a max-width property of 100%.

Now this causes an issue due to the way that styling sheets cascade refering to the last known properties for any given style - in your case the img max width is being taken from the img selector furthest down the page.

Try removing the bottom img selector and see if that makes a difference.

Thank you for the answer, I just looked down and saw that second tag.

Best,
