Observations of the replicated figure panel indicate many differences in the photographs between the two figure panels. The fact that the replicated picture shows a different amount of the tree next to the stair case suggests that the picture was taken a different angle than the original image. It was also observed that the picture showed more of the background of the spiderweb. From this difference, it is inferred that the photograph was taken from farther away in the replicate photo, thus, showing part of the student’s hands and more of the background behind the spiderweb.
The quality of the photographs taken are different between the original and replicated figure panels. The factor that’s most likely creating these differences in the lighting of the photographs would be the time of day that these pictures were taken.The weather also could be a factor affecting the picture quality, as the original pictures were taken on an overcast, cloudy day. This is most likely points to the camera exposure and focus.
The observed differences between the original and replicated figure panels are likely due to the in discrepancies in the methods. For example, the font size and type were different because the methods failed to completely describe the formatting. It is also inferred that a different version of Microsoft Word was used to create the replicate figure, as this would explain why the formatting differed.
