Hi Jim,

Label is not a valid HTML attribute, as Patrick stated. The correct way to
"label" an img is with the alt attribute. The Mozilla Developer Network
documentation for img
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#attributes>lists
the available attributes for the img element.
