Still Life of a Clear Table

I have been spending a lot of time being inspired by painting lately. Still life is one of the only things that can be replicated across many mediums of art without imbibing onto it too much of the medium. Hyper-realism painters can create paintings that look like a photograph and photographers can create some photos that look like paintings. I was attempting to create this photograph in the space just in between realism and a painting. I left the highlights blown out and used deeper shadows to create a more painterly effect.
