  I've just re-read my answer and I now don't think I was particularly clear. The present tense is a finite verb, which means you need a subject and verb: she is walking, for instance. 'Her walk across the bridge' and 'Her walking across the bridge' are verb phrases. The verb here is not finite, however, and the 'subject' is in the objective case (her). You would perhaps call it a complement clause.

  Edit: Compare to" is used to talk about similarity. For example, he compares his girlfriend's beauty to that of a rose
