I was a bit confused about what he was doing, nice location for playing.
It is good to include some location information but I think there is to much, get closer. The cut off body on the left does not bother me to much, good use of trees on left and right.
Before you told what he was doing, the whole scene looked quite absurd.
I think this one has the characteristics of a street photograph, except for the location.
All the spectators points us to the center of interest, and the situation is less than obvious, which calls for imagination.
Does he use the bucket as a mute for the didgeridoo??
There are lots of interesting elements here but I don't think you are holding them together in this picture. By this I mean that I'm left unsure as to what the important elements were for you. Although, as Kjell says, the situation is less than obvious, I don't find that my imagination runs with it. I'm happy to believe that this is a failure of my imagination...
Robert - This is a very popular spot now for BBQ's, Picnics and for bushwalking. The cut off body does bother me a little.
Kjell - The bucket was put at the end of the didgeridoo, I guess for the acoustics and getting the sound to bounce back at him. Sounded quite good to me.
Colin - This was a very quick grab shot, I remember at the time I just wanted to get the people in the shot as well as a bit of scenery.
I do think the spectators really point the viewer to the right spot to find the center of interest, but it is not hard to understand why Colin and I had such different reactions to it since the situation is a bit difficult to grasp. Before you mentioned the didgeridoo, I thought he was holding a bat of some sort.
The cut off man didn't really bother me that much since I was too busy thinking up a theory about what was going on.

my bucket theory was pretty close :-)
