your max-width is correct but you should change your margin: 0 auto 30px; to margin: 0 auto;

Your margin settings are exactly what the challenge asked for, don't change that.

But if you look through the CSS, you will notice it already has a selector for img, so if you put your own before it, that one will override your setting.

You could merge your CSS for img with the one already there, or ...

:point_right: Try putting your code at the bottom.
