System.IO.IOException: 'The target file is a directory, not a file.'

I am trying to copy an image that was selected using the open file dialog tool, but it keeps throwing me the error System.IO.IOException: 'The target file "C:\Users\Anthony\Documents\\yes" is a directory, not a file.'.
This is my code for that section.

private void button2_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
    ofd.Title = "Select Background Image";
    ofd.Filter = "Image Files(*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png;)|*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png;";
    ofd.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
    if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
    {
        label15.Text = ofd.FileName;
        FileInfo i = new FileInfo(ofd.FileName);
        i.CopyTo(@"C:\Users\Anthony\Documents\\" + label1.Text);
    }

Thanks for the help!

You need to define the full path for CopyTo

i.CopyTo(Path.Combine(@"C:\Users\Anthony\Documents", label1.Text, i.FileName));
