Increasing font size of h2 element

Hi Guys

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Keep getting this message for some reason: Bummer! Make sure you're setting 'font-size' to 53 pixels.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.title {
  font-size: 26px;
}

.h2 {
  font-size: 53px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <header>
        <span class="title">Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
        <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      </header>
      <div class="main-content">
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
        <p>
          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Hi there,

You've pretty much got it - you just need to take the . out from before the h2 - you only need a dot for classes, and h2 is a tag, which doesn't require any special notation. That one would look like:

h2 {
  font-size: 53px;
}
