whats wrong with my code?

To see which combination of images we selected, give them a different border-color value –– any color you want. Don't forget to preview before you click "check work". Bummer! Make sure you give the cleared images a different border color style.css index.html

1 /* Write the CSS in the media query below */ 2 ​ 3 @media (min-width: 607px) { 4

5 img { 6 float:left; 7 } 8 ​ 9 img:nth-child(3n+4) { 10 clear: left; 11 } 12 img[ 13 border-color:blue;

style.css 
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {

  img {
    float:left;
}

  img:nth-child(3n+4) {
   clear: left;
}
  img[
  border-color:blue;

You have a square bracket instead of a brace following the last "img" selector.

But there are two other issues that the challenge doesn't seem to catch:

  • the "border-color" should be added to the previous rule instead of a new one
  • the final closing brace of the media query is missing
