Usually when you are making a comparison between two things you can
say either:
The cost of living here is cheaper compared with (the cost of lving
in) other places
or
Comparing the cost of living here here with the cost of living in
other places, you will find that it is cheaper here.
In other words if you are using the participial 'comparing', you
really need an object in your sentence as you can see in my second
sentence.

I think a
simple rule of thumb is that the word 'comparing' is used when
referring to the actual act of making a comparison.
Alan's examples are good...
... In comparing the height of two boys, we found that one was
taller compared to the other. |
