Hello Alexandru,

For the third task this what you are asked to do:

Select all images inside the footer element and assign them to the variable footerImages.

If you look at the html you can see that the image elements are descendants of the footer element:

<footer>
        <a href="http://twitter.com/nickrp"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class="social-icon"></a>
        <a href="http://facebook.com/nickpettit"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo" class="social-icon"></a>
        <p>&copy; 2016 Nick Pettit.</p>
      </footer>

So to select the image elements just within the footer you would use this selector;

let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll('footer img');

One other thing I noticed in your code. You have 2 semicolons and the end of the first two lines in your code when you should only have one.

Good luck with CSS! Happy coding! Heidi
