Inferences can be made regarding the differences observed between these two figures due to how the methods were written. The differences in fonts, bolding, and location of panel labels are due to there not being a precise description of how these should look. There is only a description of which figures are labeled with which letter, allowing room for error. Both figures contained panel labels that were in black, potentially due to black being the most common font color. There is also a color difference in parts A and B of both figures. This may be due to the differences in cameras used, or differences in day time when the pictures were taken.
In part A of both figures, the camera angle and orientation of the sign in front of the orchid differed. There was explanation of how to orient the plant using the sign as a reference in the methods, but these instructions were followed more closely in the second figure. The picture was initially taken,then the methods written, making the methods conform less to the picture. There was also less description about the distance between the orchid and the photographer which could account for there being more of the bench and surrounding plants included in figure 2.
