Hello Kris.
I thank you for the interesting and informative note. I often wondered what kimchi meant as I drove past restaurants here in Melbourne which used the word 'kimchi' in the name of the restaurant. I think your photo was very carefully composed and it's a fine exposure. The array of pots makes a very good foreground, and the tree and building a great background. Nice rich brown tones and good control of the highlights where the sun glances off the pots. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew
