Usually I try not to show street photos of the back of someone's head... but this one just works.

Is it considered photographically bad (or boring) to show the back of people's head or are you breaking some other kind of taboo by doing so?

It's just that when you look at a collection of photos from a beginning street photographer, you'll see a lot of photos of the backs of people's heads -- because that's safer, less scary, etc.

Or, if you're like me, you get really good at taking pictures of "your kids doing something" from behind them; getting excellent pictures of the backs of their heads.
