Thanks ... I don't think Dachshunds were bred for cuteness, but I sort of like them. I've heard the expression "Bulldog ugly" used by John Lennon to describe Ringo - meaning so ugly he's cute ... I guess that could pertain to dachshunds too. I put him in the picture to fool my girlfriend's niece (The dog, not Ringo). She thought we brought him to Ohio with us

Your dog is not ugly, perhaps misplaced in that image, but definitely not ugly. That negative comment was just a bit mean-spirited.

I'm still learning photoshop. Working on shadows and getting used to checking all the details ... I'm planning on taking a class or two when I find one. Still, for $99.00 a year it's a pretty good deal

And what shadow there is, is in the wrong direction as compared to the direction of the light in the scene.

If you used Photoshop, I'd quickly recommend the healing brush. Since Affinity is designed to compete with Adobe products, I am sure there is something similar.
I found you a YouTube video:

Thanks for that link. That's virtually identical to the way Irfanview erases things - very quick and easy.

The pole is not the only problem. There are too many other distractions

It would be interesting to erase all the poles in an image but leave all the wires.

Amazing- it took until the 21st response before someone answered his question. Not good.
Another way is to do it right in Photos, which has a tool (I believe called “Retouch”, but am not sure) with which you can brush over the pole and wires and they’re gone.

Yes, photoshop has a steep learning curve, and probably the software you are using does as well. But if you take a little time, you will be surprised that its not as tough as you suspect. My suggestion, take the time to learn the programs a bit and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. And guess what, its fun and rewarding! Good luck. You could physically move the poles and lines, but you would have to have the tools to do it. Or you can remove the poles and lines in the photo, but you have to have the tools to do it. And in both cases, you need to learn how to use the tools to achieve your objective.
Its way too early here in California.

Easiest would be to download Snapheal. With a little practice it will easily solve this sort of problem.

In Affinity, use the Inpainting Brush Tool to paint over the offending pole. It does a pretty good job eliminating distractions, especially if it is a contrasting color to the background.

It is really easy with Affinity. Use the Inpainting Brush tool to "paint" over the pole and wires. I did it and will try to post the picture so you can see how it looks without the pole.

For $99 a year it's far too expensive, I wouldn't even consider it.
