It looks like an <h1> made its way inside the parent body. Now our :nth-child selector no longer targets the desired combination of img child elements. Replace :nth-child with the pseudo-class that only targets a specific type of child element.

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

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
  img:nth-child(-n+3) {
   clear: left;
  }
}

Seen on the course, you need to use the pseudo class which target the nth element of "type" beside the nth-child, so : nth-of-type which is used the same as nth-child.
