In-class Exercise

I notice a few major difference between the figure panels. The image panel to the left looks to have distorted pictures; more specifically, the picture in the top left corner. The picture of a flower pot looks a bit flattened, whereas the replicate picture on the right figure panel looks to be cropped correctly. I also notice that the overall color and fade of the figure panels are different. The left figure panel has clear, bright coloring, whereas the right figure panel looks a bit gloomy. This difference is most likely due to the difference in time of day when the figure panels were taken. Additionally, the right figure panel seems to have some shadows over the plant pictures which makes me think that these picture were taken when the sun was going down. The angle at which all the picture were taken in both panels differ; the left figure panel had a more straight on approach to the pictures, and the right figure panel has pictures that are angled to the right of the plant. Lastly, there is an obvious difference between the flower captured in the bottom right hand of each figure panel. The flower looks extremely different in both pictures which makes me infer that these are not the same flowers.

As for the formatting of these panels, the figure set-up looks to be almost spot on. The formatting of each picture looks correct, with no gaps in between the pictures. The order of the pictures, left to right, looks the same as well. However, the number labeling of these pictures differs between the two panels, as the font size in the right panel looks larger than the font in the left panel. Additionally, the overall panel size of the right figure is a bit larger than the left figure; I assume measurements images were not taken carefully.

From the photos, you can conclude that these two pictures were taken at different angles and time throughout the day. the first set of photos show a bush covered in snow half way up its branch, a tree located in a parking lot with a snow hill, and the library with the focus placed on a dead tree. The second picture tries to recreate the original copies but does not because figure a does not have the snow covering more than half the branch height as what was observed in the original, figure b has darker snow in front of the tree than the original figure b, and figure c is pictured at a different angle than the original. The format of the copied figure is not similar to the original either the figures are closed in the corner whereas the original has a more spaced out format with no mandated spacing. 

One major difference in the two sets of images is the size of the pictures within the panel. The one on the right has differnt sized images and they don't allign in the same, neat way that the left side does. This is something that probably resulted from unclear methods because the person creating the second image set was unable to recreate exactly what the first person did. 

Some differences also occur in the lighting of the pictures so they were likely taken at different times of the day, or if at the same times just on different days so the sun wasn't in the same place.

The lettering of the pictures also does not match, the letters on the right hand side are smaller but they are in the same color and font and the images are labeled correctly. The sizing and placement are just not in sync. The overall size of both panels is also not consistent and the image on the right lacks the black border. 

The bottom two pictures in each set also seem to be taken from different angles and perhaps different branches. The methods used for describing the figure set might not have been clear enough in describing these scenes.

The angles of the picture of the tree, the top two in both pictures was also taken from a different angle.

Figure 1. Massive spider size and dimensions. The image shows just how large the male goliath birdeater is. A ruler is positioned on the right side of it in order to give some scale. In its displayed conformation, the spider is approximately 17 cm in length, or roughly the size of an adult human hand. “male goliath birdeater 111508 011” flickr photo  by John https://www.flickr.com/photos/8373783@N07/3199695137 Shared under Creative Commons (BY) license.

Figure 1. Butterfly with distinct markings on body & wings. The blue and red colors on this butterfly are located primarily at the back end of the body, and are used to distract prey. The symmetrical patterns on the wings are used to confuse prey and allow the butterfly to escape when being attacked.

Figure 1. This spider displays the long hairy legs that the Zoridae spider family obtains. This trait is adventageous to their location on webs and other terrain. The legs have many hair follicles to imprive their sense of awareness. The spider's legs extend about an inch out from its abdomen. The legs bend at multiple joints and are a consitent color throughout all eight legs.
