Image not Floating

Any ideas on why the images won't float?

style.css 
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 769px) {
 img:nth-child(3n + 4) {
  float: left;
  clear: left;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hey Sarah Yasi,

You need to first float the img to the left:

  img {
    float: left;
  }

The code you wrote for pseudo-class selector is correct. You can just update your code with the following:

/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }

  img:nth-child(3n + 4) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

Hope this helps!
