Although there were striking similarities between the original figure and the replicate, there were differences and those difference can be accounted for. The figure A may be lacking a ruler if the replicator did not posses a ruler at the time of the photo being taken. The hand in the photo may not be in the correct orientation because of the lack of description as to how the hand was orientated while holding the leaf and the ruler. The difference in the time of day could be accounted for due to the replicator’s availability. It is possible that the replicator was not on campus around 4:00pm when the original photos were taken. Taking the photos for the figure at a different time of day also accounts for the differences in the shadows made by the tree. The replicate photos were also taken by a person standing closer to the tree than the person in the originals. This could be due to subjective understanding of how far away a certain amount of measurement is. One person might estimate 5 feet and be more accurate than the other person. Estimation of distance could also account for the tree on the left in figure C being cut off on the left side. The replicator might not have been standing far enough away to capture both trees and the entirety of the library in the background. The letters labeling the figures differed in the figures most likely due to lack of description of the size of the text box used to make the letter labels. Lack of description could also account for the red X being different on the second figure.
