Getting img to fill parent

I am having trouble with this challenge. I have set the property to float left and max width to 45%. What do I seem to be missing?

Thanks!

maybe the img should be 100% width and the li elements 45%

You should have width 45% not max-width: 45%

Here is the error I am getting : "It doesn't look like you set the maximum width on images yet."

Here is my code: img { float: left; width: 45%; }
