There are many possible explanations for the differences between Figure 1 and Figure 2. The orientation and placement of the images within the figures were different. I did not specify the exact location of each panel within my original scientific figure, Figure 1. I also did not mention labeling each panel, A, B and C, so that may explain the lack of labels within Figure 2. The arrows of each figure also differed in color and placement. This may be due to the fact that I created one of the arrows, the white one in Figure 1, on a different software than the usual editing software, Inkscape. I did not include the fact that I did this in my methods description.
In the first image, panel A in Figure 1, the original and replicate look differently. This may be due to the fact that the replicate camera was held closer to the leaf than I had originally, or perhaps the student zoomed in their camera to capture the photo while I kept mine zoomed out. The difference in phytophagy spots and leaf shape may be because different leaves were used. It could also be because the replicated photo was taken over a week after my original photo. The leaf could have decomposed slightly or been weathered more during that time, explaining the brown spots on the leaf in Figure 2.

grammar edit
Consider replacing "the original and replicate look differently." with "the original and replicate look different." Different is an adjective, while differently is an adverb.
Inference
The description of factors that may have caused the differences between the figures should not be focused on the directions that were provided. Rather, the factors should be directly causal. For example, when you describe the fact that Figure 2 lacked labels because you didn't describe that step in the methods, it refers to the fact that your methods were imprecise, rather than the direct cause, which was that labels simply weren't included in Figure 2.
Replicate vs Original
Maybe use the words replicate and original multi panel figures rather than figure 1 and figure 2? Unless you have them in your paper as figure1 and figure 2?
