he says the images are breaking out of their containing <div>. Is that actually what's going on there or, is it more likely just because they are not yet responsive images, he is sizing down the browser window and they are extending beyond that window? i'm a little confused. thank you!

Treehouse Project ReviewerYou are correct, they by default have a fixed size, which needs to be converted into a percentage value. A percentage value is always relative to a parent element. So giving the images a max width of 100% stops them from becoming any wider than that value and makes them get no larger than 100% of the parent element.
Fluid/responsive comes from using relative units.
