Hungry?

You probably will be after seeing which photos took out this year's Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards.

From dumplings and hot dogs to three-tiered cakes, this gallery is a literal feast for the eyes.

The overall winning shot, which was snapped in the rural area Xiangshan, of Zhejiang, China, shows feast preparations for Lunar New Year.

Speaking on the image, photographer Yang Zhonghua said the celebrations include the tradition of making dim sum, such as red bean dumplings and steamed rice cakes, "each of which has a legacy of traditional craftsmanship".

According to the competition's website, the awards "arose from a wish to see this vibrant sector of photography given the recognition it deserves".

Here's the winning image alongside the other category winners and finalists.

Photographer Ben Cole and stylist Sharon Kennedy's portrait Sticky Taste took second place.

Photographer Jo Kearney said state stores in Cuba tend to be "pretty empty" between deliveries.

"When food arrives, there's a queue because they are subsidised by the government and so food is mcuh cheaper than in the private stores."

Street Food

"Every evening, Ayesha makes packets of Hawai sweets by herself.

"The next day, at six in the morning, Ayesha and her daughter Hanufa go to different streets in the village and children's schools and sell the Hawai sweets.

"They earn about 300 taka per day and with this money she maintains her family and business."
