In your CSS file in the navigation section your border-radius should be 10px, and not 10px solid E3E3E3. In your HTML file, I found a couple of minor errors. In your image source you have included the opening and closing h1 header tags around your image source. There is also a space between your images/logo2 (1).svg. You might want to double check that? And one more thing, always add your alt=" " in your image source, try to make that a habit.
