Observations and Inferences Page 25

On page 25, there are a lot of differences between the two figure compilations created. I observe that the group on the left is smaller in size than the one on the right. The images of the flower in the compilation on the left have longer widths and shorter heights than the ones on the right. The image compilation on the right has labels in the top left corner of each image while the compilation on the left does not. The spacing between the images in each compilation is also different: the compilation on the left is more spaced while the one on the right is closer together. These could all be a result of lack of specificity when formatting the images on Inkscape. For example, the heights and widths of the image, as well as their spacing apart from each other, may not have been described in adequate detail.
There are also subtle differences between the two compilations that become apparent upon closer examination. In the compilation on the right, the image of the map has a slight blue background as opposed to the image of the map on the left, that has a white background. This causes the map on the left to blend into the background of the entire compilation. The map on the right also has less of Middle America highlighted in red than the image of the map on the left. These could also be due to a lack of specificity in formatting description, but could also just be a result of forgetfulness since the details are so minor.
The orientations of each image are also different between the two compilations. The image of the single flower on the left is more zoomed out and in a birds-eye-view orientation in comparison to the corresponding image on the right, which is more zoomed in and has a perspective set on the top and side of the flower. The image of the entire plant on the left is more zoomed out than the one on the right and includes more surroundings of the plant. The image of the entire plant on the right is slightly more zoomed in and oriented to the right. The last image of the map is zoomed in more on the right in comparison to the corresponding image on the left. These could all be due to height differences in the photographer or zoom capabilities of the camera. Perhaps there were different obstacles in the surrounding areas of each plant that caused this contrast in orientation of the images as well.
