Faulty Image Positioning in IE - html

Question

My cat image on my website is very far below all the other images when viewed on Internet Explorer (v11). It looks perfect when viewed in Chrome. For the development of this website, I used predefined bootstrap css classes, and a few of my own. Unfortunately, I have no idea why this image is so far below the rest in IE. Here is my own css style sheet:
html,
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-family: "Source Sans Pro","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
}
.text-vertical-center {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
}
.text-vertical-center h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 3.3em;
font-weight: 500;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 2%;
}
/* Custom Button Styles */
.btn-dark {
border-radius: 0;
color: #fff;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
.btn-dark:hover,
.btn-dark:focus,
.btn-dark:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
}
.btn-light {
border-radius: 0;
color: #333;
background-color: rgb(255,255,255);
}
.btn-light:hover,
.btn-light:focus,
.btn-light:active {

background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
}

Answer 1

You include images that are way much larger then the size you display them in. The browser has to scale them down, IE seems to have some problems with rounding the height of the image. When you look into the IE dev tools you can see that the first image is actually 343.11px in height. So the third image "edges" against those 0.11px and goes into the next column, which leads to the cat image be in the third row.
Prepare all the images in the same size you intent to show them.
Also check the W3C validator. You have a few errors in your markup.
