for some reason img { float: right; } is coming up as incorrect. What am I missing here? Thank you!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.img-thumbnail {
  float: right;
}
index.html

      <p class="clear">I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

Hey Michael Dalton !

For the first challenge in this section, I'm not sure why your code didn't work. I just did

img {
    float: left;
}

and it passed. Was there maybe a typo or syntax issue when you were trying?
