Remove the dot in your img selector - it’s not a class. And set your margin values to auto.

3

thank you, I tried that first and when it didn’t work I thought it was wrong and I got confused. Turns out I just had to refresh the page and then it worked.

4

Excuse me, but why it’s auto not 50%?

5

Margin inline (so left and right) set to AUTO centers your img horizontally. It takes all the available space and splits equally between the left and right margins.

If you have margin left set to 50% it means that your img will start right at 50% of your width.
