CSS CSS Selectors Selectors - Beyond the Basics Attribute Selectors Challenge

This task seems to be broken. I'm entering the correct syntax. The declaration should be inside the attribute selector.

The first step didn't work so I added an additional selector just on image and set the border radius to 50%. Then it passed! This is clearly wrong as that is not even part of this lesson. I tried the same on this step for type="password" but wasn't so lucky. The challenge just keeps telling me to set color to #ccc. I've done that in two ways. :(

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

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

input [type="password"] {
  color: #ccc;
}
input{
  color: #ccc;
}
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>

you should add the attribute selector without a space

img[title .....

WOOOOW. Not the first time I've been burned by a space during these challenges. The error message is not very helpful unfortunately. :( Thanks Darren for your quick response!
