I see Unsplash It having big bandwidth. You can save lots of bandwidth by simply applying CloudFlare DNS that would pass all network trough their proxy - secure, cached and optimized.

In CloudFlare you can define 'Page Rule' to "Cache everything", add addition role https://unsplash.it/*?random "Bypass cache".

Bandwidth isn't really an issue, the only compelling reason to use a CDN would be for a potential slight speedup in delivery.

CloudFlare isn't CDN service, but the way they delivers any content (also dynamic content from free plan) is trough their CDN earlier caching all requests from origin server.
