In "Cannon Beach Reflections," Glen Wilbert photographs Haystack Rock and the smaller sea stacks at Cannon Beach, Oregon, with the foreground given over to a pattern of shallow tide pools and wet sand at low tide.
The image is rendered in black and white and built in two parts: the misty rock formations along the upper horizon, and the large foreground of irregular tide pools that form a map-like pattern of light water and darker sand. Glen positioned the camera low and back so the pools lead the eye across the frame toward Haystack Rock, which sits softened by coastal haze. The result emphasizes the shapes the receding tide leaves behind as much as the famous rock itself.
Haystack Rock is one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Oregon coast and a frequent stop on Pacific Northwest road trips. Glen treats it as one element in a larger study of pattern and tone rather than the sole subject.
In black and white, the composition is built on pattern and tonal contrast: the bright pools and dark sand beneath the soft mass of the rock.
