Because background is _not_ non-essential. Actually it makes out far
more area on your photograph than the main subject, especially if you
shoot people.

It always pays to be sensitive to the background. Get's you nicer
pictures. If you only pay attantion to the main subject, one day
telephone poles will grow out of their heads ... (and nobody cares if
those are sharp or fuzzy, they are plain wrong)

bye, Georg
