I have also read that there is no improvement with hands free. IF this is true it would hardly be surprising given the false sense of security which you would expect to be associated with these smug folk prattling away. Except for those who were choking on the hat of their choice of course.

There is a lot to like in the photo. Exposure and focus are just fine. I get the same feeling as BobW on the crop/composition, however. It feels too tight on the right and the head seems a bit too low in the shot overall. I'd be curious to know if this is cropped already or not. -- Bruce
