CSS won't float left

Here's some of my css

/***********************
PAGE: ABOUT (MAIN CSS)
************************/

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  max-width: 150px;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  border-radius: 35px;
}

 /***********************
    PAGE: ABOUT (RESPONSIVE)
 ************************/  

.profile-photo {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 5% 80px 0;  
}

and here's my corresponding html

<div id="wrapper">
     <section>
       <img src="img/photo-1.JPG" alt="Photograph of Scott Kaplan and friends" class="profile-photo">
       <h3>About</h3>
       <p>Hi, I'm Scott Kaplan &#40;that's me in the middle&#41;. This is my portfolio where I share my work.</p>

Maybe you have to close your div element?

Nope, that's closed further down in the code.

<div id="wrapper">
     <section>
      <ul id="gallery">
       <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">

Scott,

I think you pasted the wrong html, from your index page. The page you initially referenced was from the about page. Would you mind pasting the complete portion from the about page?
