Hi thomas ethridge 👋

The CSS rule you wrote there is completely correct 💯 The reason why the styles are not shown though is because the element you're trying to select with the #intro img selector doesn't exist.

If you have another look at the carbonara.html file and see how the elements are structured you'll notice that the img is not a child element of the #intro div as shown in the video but are siblings instead: 

<div id="intro">
  <p>This easy pasta sauce will cook in about the same time it takes to cook some</p>
</div>
<img src="img/carbonara.jpg" alt="Spaghetti Carbonara on a white plate on a grey marble tabletop" />

If you move that img tag in between the <div id="intro"></div> tags instead your styles should be applied as expected 😃

<div id="intro">
  <img src="img/carbonara.jpg" alt="Spaghetti Carbonara on a white plate on a grey marble tabletop" />
  <p>This easy pasta sauce will cook in about the same time it takes to cook some   </p>
</div>

I hope this helps to get you going again! 😄
