I followed the instruction but not sure where I was wrong

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below
header > img {
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Combinators Challenge</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      <img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="foggy mountains">
    </header>
    <div class="main-content">

The instructions say to target "the <img> element that is a descendant of the <header> element". While the direct child selector would work with this particular HTML, it wouldn't target any descendant image as the selector being asked for would.
