Adding an image

My page shows a placeholder instead of the image. Not sure what is wrong.

<div> <img src="img/featured.jpg"> <p>Virtual Reality is becoming well known as a form of entertainment, but it is also finding its way into fields like education, industrial design, healthcare and so much more!</p> <a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/vr" target="_blank">Start Your VR Journey</a> </div>

Is your folder called img in the same folder as the page you are editing?

you may need to step back a step if, for example, your img folder is in the folder before the one you're in now?

ex: src="../img/featured.jpg"

Thanks, that worked. I was pointing to the incorrect folder.
