Why am I getting an error for creating a border radius of 50%?

This challenge is beyond simple, but I keep getting an error on my code. I don't see anything else I can do with it. Is there a problem here that I don't see? Please let me know, thanks!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

img [title="avatar"] {
 border-radius: 50%;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <form class="form-contact">
        <img src="avatar.png" title="avatar" alt="">

          <label for="un">Username:</label> 
          <input type="text" id="un">

        <label for="pw">Password:</label>
        <input type="password" id="pw">

          <input type="submit" value="Sign up">
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

The issue is not with the property, but with the selector. The space after "img" makes it a descendant selector, which has a different meaning than what the instructions asked for.

Got it and it worked. Spaces matter in this case. Thanks again for your help, Steven!
