Lightroom Classic. And very slow, steady strokes.

You can then send the photo to PS. PS allows a "content aware fill" under "Edit" that can mask some of your edited areas without artifacts. If you have LR classic and Photoshop, send me a PM and I will give you the steps.

I normally strongly dislike the current fad of using a wide angle lens for a landscape and including a huge amount of distracting foreground. But your picture pulls it off very well. It's good as presented and definitely better with the download. Congrats on a great shot!

Thank you

Yes, good job! Out of curiosity, I wonder why try to remove the fence at all? I bet it blends in pretty well overall since the foreground has many colors and textures.

As I mentioned, I had no idea what image editing software --apart from Lr (whichever version; standalone 5.x / 6.x /subscription [which by choice/default includes the current Ps) our OP has available, it seemed a safe assumption Not Ansel has something. I see now that he does, and its Apple Photo Editor, which I know nothing about. But that almost doesn't matter; virtually all pixel editors have the same basic capabilities, and the clone brush is surely one of those. As regards having/using PsE or Ps --or practically anything else, the Apple product included-- it likewise doesn't matter since its easy enough to 'bounce' an image back and forth between editors, be they pixel or parametric, to use the features/strengths of each for particular tasks.

Sure, today's subscription versions of Lr and Ps integrate with each other more or less seamlessly, but I'd suspect PsE does likewise. (Granted, I haven't used, or even looked at, PsE in some years, but the last I did, it 'integrated' with whatever version of Lr I'd been using at the time (probably in the 5.x range, but it might have been as recent as 6.x). Yes, I presently use the current 'subscription' versions of both Adobe products, but I have no difficulty 'bouncing' an image from Lr to any number of other standalone image editors and back again, several of which are relatively arcane.

Thanks on the good job post. I also followed a suggestion to do it in B&W. I liked it.

Thanks much. This is the first I've read of someone using LR with PSE (again, probably because it's PS that's paired with LR in the subscription).

Elements can handle several softwares as plug-ins. I have the older Topaz Simply and Topaz Detail, along with my much-loved Nik Collection. I think your observation to use several programs on one image, based on the strengths of each, is excellent advice. Appreciated!

Looks even better in color to me.
