Tried cropping my vacation photo to remove a stranger's elbow and ended up with just a blurry thumb

Last summer at the Grand Canyon I spent 20 minutes trying to crop out some random tourist's arm from my sunset shot, only to accidentally hit save on a 2 pixel wide sliver of sky that looked like a moldy green bean.

oh man, "moldy green bean" is such a perfect description. I feel this in my soul because I've absolutely done that exact thing. Spent way too long trying to get the perfect crop and ended up with something that looked like a blurry mistake. It's like the photo gods just laugh at us sometimes. At least you got a funny story out of it, right?

I heard someone say photography is just organized failure. Seems about right.
