The amount of sun exposure is a factor that was not accounted for when taking the replicate photos; this is seen the amount of sun beans present throughout the panel B and panel C pictures of Figure 2. The yellow beams over the tree and in the background of the spider web shows the presence of sun that was not there in the original multi-panel figure.
The weather is another factor that was not controlled in the replicate figure due to the difference in lighting in the photos. The original photos were taken on a day of overcast weather, meaning there is a layer of clouds blocking the sun. Panel B and C in Figure 1 have a dull lighting, whereas the replicate photos have harsh beams of light.
As for the formatting of the figures, discrepancies in the methods may have caused the differences between the two multi-panel figures. For example, the font size and type were different in the replicated figure due to a lack of explanation in the methods. Additionally, the lack of gaps in between the photos in the replicated figure is a difference due to the disregard of the written methods.
Despite there being many differences between Figure 1 and Figure 2, the overall project was a success in practicing scientific writing and replication.
