Yes it looks better that way, and I like the first version more because on the second one she kinda disappears into the background.
A lil tip on how to blend. Take your render layer,take the eraser with a grunge brush (or some other that isn't with a precise shape) put it to ~30% opacity and slightly erase the edges of the render but be careful not to take too much away. Then duplicate the render layer (CTRL+J) and set the layer blending mode to what fits you the most. You can also play around with the opacity of the layer. That is, I think, a pretty easy way to make your renders blend with the bg. Just test is out and play with the settings until you find the outcome to be satisfying. ;3
