I love both images. My view is that learning to isolate my subject against a clean background makes me a better photographer. Much of the time, the images are better this way, but often enough, as you say, including other things for context is very helpful and aesthetically pleasing as well. But if you don’t know how to create the clean background, then it seems you’re less likely to pay attention to what’s there and include other elements thoughtfully and judicially. Failure to pay attention to the background has ruined many an image.
