Uploading Images using HTML

Hi All. I'm very new to coding and HTML. Parallel to completing the courses, I wanted to create my own website, a professional profile.

I am having a strange issue with uploading images to the website. 2 different images, one will load the other will not. The code is fine (i can swap the names around and it loads / doesn't load the other image), the security settings are the same, the image type is the same. It is something with the image file I think but I'm not sure what the problem is? Can anyone help me diagnose the issue?

I am on Windows 8, using jpg, png, gif files (I have tried saving as all 3).

regards

Chris

Thanks, as you can see - code is very simple. If I change the name of the image, it picks up other files in the img folder

So other images within that directory are displaying when you put their name instead? If it's not a path level issue, it might seem simple but are you making sure the image name is correct or even the image is in the correct folder? I don't know how many times I missed a character or forgot to put an image in the right directory.
