Do you know the author or at least the website from where you get your images? They have to be credited when you post the image.

It's good that you credited your last image, but I advice editing the sources of your images in your last posts, too (and generally, it's better to mention the author than just to give a link).

Correct
So you are saying that I should give the link whenver I post an image ?

Yes, when you post an image you should state the source and link it.

NOTE: Take the top view of the Triceratops skull (the skull, not the postcrania) with a grain of salt as it may be too wide. Final, new, and improved version of Triceratops vs Mapusaurus. Turns out I had been scaling the Mapus far too big all the other times. On top is BYU 12183 (2.5 meter skull) vs MCF-PVPH-108.169 (12.47 meters along the curves). On the bottom is AMNH 5040 (275 cm skull) vs MCF-PVPH-108.145 (13.6 meters along the curves). Triceratops side view by GetAwayTrike and top view modified from Greg Paul, while Mapusaurus side view is by Franoys and top view is modified from Bates Acrocanthosaurus with the skull being a composite of Franoys' Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus.  |

That top view just doesn't look right. Just looking at the head gives me that impression; the back of the head just looks so unnaturally wide and the orbital horns look like they're placed extremely far from each other. It could just be me, but it looks odd.

It's not just you; what you're used to seeing is the too-thin top view by Greg Paul. I widened this about 35% based on Kelsey.
Having said that, it looks to have widened the skull along with the postcrania, which I don't think was really the case. The skull is likely too wide; I will have to put a disclaimer to ignore it.

It almost seems as if when you tried widening the torso you ended up widening the entire body. Skull of Toxodon compared to the skulls of two rhino species (from Darren Naish's Twitter). Not 100% sure which species (though, one's clearly African and the other Asian). I'm going to assume black and Sumatran, but don't quote me on that.  |

Yeah, unfortunately, that's the only option - removing the head before widening the torso just doesn't work. I cannot get the resulting images lined up.
Oh well. A slightly too wide skull is better than a bunch of 35% too thin postcrania.

"slightly too wide skull"
So minor of a difference that I was able to notice it right off the bat. "slightly", yeah, okay.
Here's some genuine advice: if you can't get a size comparison to be as accurate as possible, especially when it ends up in a borderline egregious error like widening the entire body in accordance with an attempt to widen only one part of it, then don't make that size comparison.
