Besides the already mentioned solutions there is the package "float". It 
provides an option [H] for floating environments which means to place it 
exactly at the position it occurs in the input. You have to decide if 
this is a good solution for each individual picture.

Another possibility is \clearpage before the Acknowledgements. That 
would ensure that all pending floats are printed, afterwards it will 
start a new page. But I don't know if a pagebreak is ok in your case.
