Beginner CSS Box Border Question

HTML & CSS
1

Hello,

I’ve created the following html code to display an image with a border. The image appears at 10x, 10y correctly but the border has a gap in the bottom. What am I missing? Any assistance would be helpful!

I’ve attached the following html code in a txt file and the image I’ve been using to assist.

Thanks in advance!!!
