What am I doing wrong? It says to create an image tag but I thought that is what I am doing

image tag

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
        </li>
      </ul>
        </section>

You are creating an 'anchor' tag with a link to an image.

<a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">

What it also wants is an image tag inside the anchor tag so it knows what to show as the anchor. It is formatted as follows:

<img src="" alt="">

Where the source is the path to your image and alt is alternative text that will appear if the image fails to load.
