I don't understand what parent element means or what the question is really asking me to do.

It keeps telling me that I haven't set the maximum width to the images.

css/main.css
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  width: 45%;
}

Hi Tristan,

If your targeting all img elements you need a:

img {}

declaration.

And if you need to set their maximum width then you just need the property max-width: 100%

Try and let us know! :)
