How to select a img TITLE attribute in css?

I am working on this challenge but I can't seem to slect the img (avatar) to put a border radius on it. I can do it in a generic way of img {border-radius: 50%} but not by using title selector...Help?

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img [title="avatar"]{
  border-radius:50%;
}
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <form class="form-contact">
        <img src="avatar.png" title="avatar" alt="">

          <label for="un">Username:</label> 
          <input type="text" id="un">

        <label for="pw">Password:</label>
        <input type="password" id="pw">

          <input type="submit" value="Sign up">
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

For future ref - DO NOT USE SPACES - img[title="avatar"]{ border-radius:50%;}

Michael,

Remove the space between img and your opening square bracket and you should be good to go!

Hi Michael,

The spacing should be removed:

img[title="avatar"] {
    border-radius: 50%;
}

Using CSS, a space between to selectors is used to call an element placed inside of the other like:

.team .john {
}

is selecting

<div class="team">
<div class="john">
<!-- this -->
</div>
</div>

whereas

.team.john {
}

is instead selecting

<div class="team john">
<!-- this -->
</div>
