Of course by the norm, the thread by the pic is lot attractive (or annoying, cuz it works both ways depending upon how it is made to appear) to any general viewers. A single photograph can tell a thousand words and it can tell it in a blink of an eye. On the other hand it might take a few minutes to read a plain text thread to make an impression on viewers. In many instances photograph alone can tell the whole story even if you are unable to read the text.
