Took this yesterday of an old southern gentleman who was kind enough to pose for me in Savannah Georgia. Question is, is the wire a distraction and would it be best to remove? Still not really good with removing objects in photoshop

Now that you mention it, yes, it is a distraction and it can and should be removed. In Photoshop Elements, Scott Kelby suggests using the spot healing brush, with content aware checked (I am sure this is available in the full scale Photoshop). I've followed his suggestion with good results.

By the way, I think the photo is great!

Please remove it. Use either the clone tool or the Spot Healing Tool in Photoshop

Remove it. It adds nothing to the image and is a visual distraction due to it contrast. The wire is what I noticed first.

Yes, since it is such a contrast to the overall tonage of the shot, it is distracting and therefore I would remove it, you'll like it better afterwards!
