Using Automapper to map an objects list

I have an object (ProductModel) that has a nested list of images. I am trying to simplify the model (Product) that has this list as its property. I am using Automapper, but I can not seem to get the mapping configuration right. I viewed several other posts, but they seem to be a little different than what I am trying to achieve. 

// Map to:
public class Product
{
    public List<Image> Images { get; set; }
}

public class Image
{
    public string url { get; set; }
}


// Map from:
public class ProductModel
{
    public ImageSet ImageSet { get; set; }
}

public class ImageSet
{
    public List<ImageDetail> ImageDetails { get; set; }
}

public class ImageDetail
{
    public string Url { get; set; }
}

The following configuration should work:

var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
    cfg.CreateMap<ImageDetail, Image>();
    cfg.CreateMap<ProductModel, Product>()
        .ForMember(dest => dest.Images, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.ImageSet.ImageDetails))
        ;
});
