    img: {

        // using only dirs with output path
        task1: {
            src: 'public/src',
            dest: 'public/img'
        },

        // recursive extension filter with output path
        task2: {
            src: ['public/src/**/*.png'],
            dest: 'public/img'
        },

        // file by file with output path
        task3: {
            src: ['public/src/logo.png','public/src/social.jpg'],
            dest: 'public/img'
        },

        // single path to optimize and replace all images
        task4: {
            src: 'public/img'
        },

        // file by file to optimize and replace
        task5: {
            src: ['public/img/concert.jpg, public/img/halestorm.png']
        },

        // filter extension to optimize and replace
