So true, so true. Also, even people who post perfect after perfect picture probably has also taken a much larger number of pictures that are either "almost" or "ooops" pictures. Do you know how many pictures of bare branches I take for every picture I take that has a bird in it? I've never counted, but the difference is huge.
