Why is this not working?

So I have followed through with the task up until task 5. Despite setting all the properties as requested I keep getting: "Bummer! Did you set the max width to 150px?" Why? Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're targeting img twice in your css and in the second img css block you're giving images a max-width of 100%.

img {
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

I seem to have completely missed the second block! Thx!

On second though after making that change the problems unfortunately seems to remain. Exactly the same issue.

So you're deleting this code, correct?

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

You must be right and most likely I have missed something. Just rewrote the same challenge and now it works perfectly. Thanks again anyway!
