Katria,

In your stylesheet, you're attempting to select an element with an ID of profile-photo, when no such element exists. Your element has a CLASS of profile-photo, so you need to select it as follows:

.profile-photo {
}

...not like this:

#profile-photo {
}

Remember: dot selects a class, hashtag selects an ID.
