The img tag only has one tag: <img src="some-url/some/path/image name.image extension" />. The slash (/) at the end is optional: <img attribute="value">. Also not sure why you have semicolons (;) between attributes…

Matt nailed the error, img tag is self* closing in HTML. Welcome to HMTL and web dev, a good place to get familiar with is MDN (Mozilla Developer Network). It is a bit techy at 1st but, after a while it gets easier to read through the docs.
