This shot of a spud getting its haircut earned a photography lecturer a top award.
Ray Spence is 2020's potato photographer of the year after he entered his shot in a competition set up to raise money for the Trusell Trust.

Titled 'The end of lockdown', Mr Spence said the idea came while he was chitting his potato crop at his allotment in Warwick.
The judging panel, which included celebrated photographers Martin Parr and Paul Hill, recognised Mr Spence's photo as "delightful, imaginative and .... a bit bonkers".
Like his subject, Mr Spence has been able to get to the barber since lockdown eased however his muse has "since been disposed of in the compost".
