Bummer! Did you clear the left side of the images? Like this: 'clear: left'

Hi There! I can't see where I'm going wrong here.

style.css 
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }

  img:nth-child (3n+4) {
    clear: left;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <img src="thumb-forest.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-resort.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-trees.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-falls.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-view.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-sunset.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-lake.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-beach.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-bay.jpg" alt="">

    <img src="thumb-falls.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-resort.jpg" alt="">
</body>
</html>

Hey Jessica,

You made (in my opinion) the most common error and one that I make countless times...

You put a space between your nth-child selector and the opening parentheses. Just remove the space and you are good to go.

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }

  img:nth-child(3n+4) {           /* Removed Space */
    clear: left;
  }
}

Keep Coding! :)
