Hi, here is a detailed solution:

//Select all links in the navigation element
let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav a");
//Select all links inside the ul with id gallery
let galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll("#gallery a");
//Select all images in the footer element
let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll("footer img");

Here is a few things you are doing wrong:

First,if you take a closer look at the HTML code, you will notice that there is no LI element. Secondly, imgs is not a valid selector, you must use the img tag selector.

Hope the challenge is clearer for you and you understand your mistakes!
