The appearance of the actual photos in the multipanel scientific figure was due to the different conditions on those days. On the day that the pictures from the original figure were taken, it had not rained in several days and was very sunny outside resulting in the bright complexion and dry stones. On the day that the replica photos were taken, it had rained earlier and the sky was still dark.
The difference in the appearance of the photos was also due to the two photographers holding the camera in a different way. The angle of the two close up pictures is different; it appears that the replica picture was taken straight on, while the original picture was taken from an angle to the left of the spider web.
