Not using "transition-property"

I didn't use transition-property for this challenge, instead I used the following code:

/* ================================= 
  Button Transitions
==================================== */

.button { 
color: #fff; 
background: #4a89ca; 
transition-duration: .4s; 
}

.button:hover {
background: #D36A62;
}

.button:active { 
background: #A33830;
border-radius: 1em;  
}

/* ================================= 
  Photo Overlay Transitions
==================================== */

.photo-overlay {
opacity: 0;  
transition-duration: 5s;
}

.photo-overlay:hover {
opacity: 1;
}

Is this ok? What are the drawback of not using the transition property in this case?

:point_right: The default for transition-property is "all".

Not specifying the properties actually being transitioned just causes the CSS engine to do more work than it needs to. If you only change the properties that you want transitioned, and your system is fast enough, you will probably not notice any difference.
