What is the difference between "to have taken" and "to take"?
I found the following sentence on a website.
I am honored to have taken this picture.
I cannot understand why the writer has used "to have taken" instead of "to take". Therefore, I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know why they have used have and past participle instead of just using a simple verb - “take”.
In addition, I also would like to know what is the difference between the following sentence and the above sentence.
I am honored to take this picture.
