How do you include a list image tag?

I'm being told to include a list image tag, but I don't see where I went wrong with this code challenge thus far. Help!

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="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> 
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> 
            <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">> 
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>

Hey Jacob, For this challenge, it asks you to add only the image tags, which you did correctly, BUT, you also added links, and the challenge did not ask for that.

If you remove the links and just leave the image tags, it will pass you.

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

This is all that should be in the list elements. So, yes, your code was right, but you just did too much.

Keep Coding! :)

You have some extra angle brackets after the links for image 1 and image 6:

          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">>   <!-- remove the extra angle bracket -->
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> 
          </a>
