I still blush when I get compliments too, and some I'm better at taking than others. My bff used to get annoyed when people would compliment me on my photos and I'd say "Oh well it's a really good camera" as she'd try to convince me it's not the camera, but the person using it. Perhaps, but let's be honest, even in the hands of a professional photographer, a point and shoot is not going to perform the same way as an SLR.
DH isn't terribly good at compliments either as I'll call him cute or handsome and the answer's always "Nah...!"
