It's super breathtaking, the background and the dinos mix well here

Cool pic with nice textures and background, there is a slight tension in the air, and I really like the use of perspective in this pic.

It's weird to think Tyrannosaurus could have hunted sauropods.

Indeed. Especially since T-Rex was a scavenger not a hunter. But facts aside the art is really nice!

No, they were defiantly hunters. Though I'm sure they wouldn't pass up a free carcass if they found one.

Given their size, mass and anatomy even a human could outrun them (running 10 mph / 16 kmh isn't that big of a deal, almost like jogging - in a sprint a human can be up to 3 times as fast). Their small arms are not suited to hold anything at all. If they hunted, then it was rather opportunistic prey that was weakened, slow or simply small enough for this big mouth. Instead they rather have the anatomy for long travels and the brain structure of a scavenger (like smelling carcasses from miles away).

Yet there has been proof of them hunting. Take the for example a bone that was part of the spin of a hadrosaur, that literally had a tyrannosaurus tooth embedded inside. And the hadrosaur wasn't dead when that happened, as there was healed bone tissue around the tooth. Meaning that a T rex attacked it, but the hadrosaur managed to get away and live long enough for it's bones to heal with the tooth still inside. My point is, T Rex would have most likely have been both a hunter and scavenger. It doesn't make sense for it to be one or the other. Their eyes were twice more powerful than an eagle's, highly sensitive hearing and had jaws that could crush bone. Why would a scavenger need those features? Perhaps as they got older maybe they would start to scavenge more, but like I said, it would make more sense if they did both. If they found an already dead animal they would eat it. If they had to hunt, they would hunt.
Speaking of those arms, the tyrannosaurus as it turns out didn't have the smallest arms out of all the theropods. No, that honor goes to the Carnotaurus. Some have even theorize that the T Rex's arms might not have been a useless has they appear to be.

Well, about its eyes and other points... Just read this article and you may reconsider overall.

Those maybe plausible...
I still stand by the theory that it might have both hunt and scavenged.

Well, I think it was an opportunistic carnivore. Seemingly more suited for scavenging if we go by the article I linked, but certainly not limited to it as you pointed out with the hadrosaur example. Long story short: yeah, it most likely did both. The only argueable point is to which extend.
