My result is vastly different.

So I typed it out exactly like the video did and my result didn't come out with the captions right underneath the picture and some pictures seem out of place. I can't figure out what's wrong, maybe I've overlooked something so can someone help me out?

Here's my code:

/*************************************
GENERAL
**************************************/

body {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', san-serif;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}


/*************************************
HEADING
**************************************/

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
  margin: 15px 0;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
  line-height: 0.8em;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  margin: -5px 0 0;
  font-weight: normal;
}



/*************************************
NAVIGATION
**************************************/

nav {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0;
  margin: 20px 0 0;
}



/*************************************
FOOTER
**************************************/

footer {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 50px;
  color: #ccc;
}


/*************************************

**************************************/

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

/*************************************

}

can you please post the HTML, it's very hard to know what you're trying to do without it.

Hi Damien,

You need to include your p text within your li

      <li>
        <a href="image/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="image/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </a>
      <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p>
      </li>

Hope this helps.
