Every image that you're using needs to be credited if it wasn't gifted to you or made for you.

Crediting it "Google Images" isn't sufficient, sorry. Reverse image search each one (Right Click > Search Google for this image) and find the source using that tool.

If there are MANY sources, you can use the link provided by this search as your credit.

If there is only one instance of the image, credit it to that link. If the artist/photographer has stated anywhere that they don't want the work reused/reposted, you need to remove the image from your site-- crediting won't be enough in that case.

Reference LINKS to photos, not the image itself. You don't need to credit a link, just if you're posting the image.

The exception is if you're linking DeviantArt work. Most artists don't want their work reposted as references.
