The instructions say, "Inside the media query, select the .main-header element.". But here you have selected the ".main-header" element first and put your media query inside that instead. So it's sort of "inside-out".

Also, there's no mention of selecting the body or paragraph elements. The other properties should be part of the rule for ".main-header".
