When putting my images inside the list I just can't get it to pass. What have I done wrong?

The challenge says to place the images from the image folder inside the list items. I just can't figure out what I've done wrong. I've gone back and rewatched the lecture and everything.

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>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li>
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </li>
          <li>
            <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
          </li>
          <li>
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          </li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

A few things come to mind.

Have you double checked that the images are in the img folder?

Is the HTML file in the same place as the img folder?

After searching the forums I found somebody that had a similar issue. Turns out the instruction video teaches you to put too much code in. This is a 2 part task, and when the first part accepted the <nav></nav> tags I guess I assumed they were allowed in part 2 as well. After removing the <nav></nav> tags the challenge accepted my code. Thanks for helping.

Hey Stephen, you might want to add an answer that the <nav> shouldn't be wrapped around the unordered list and then check it as the correct answer so it is flagged as answered. Cheers.
