what is the image tag?

I am working on the challenge following the lesson for adding images to the web page. I typed everything exactly as I did during my lesson. and tripple checked it. It is telling me to make sure I have an image tag. and everything looks correct. What am I missing?

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>

"Inside the three new list items, add the following images from inside the img folder: "numbers-01.jpg", "numbers-02.jpg", and "numbers-06.jpg". Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!"

The problem is you added too much. Remove the links and paragraphs and it should work fine.

<li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> 
            <p>Playing with blending modes in photoshop.</p>
          </a>
        </li>

Should look like this

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