I pressed Ctrl+J to create a copy of the image. Using the Polygonal Lasso Tool, I clicked around the post to make a selection around it. I went to Edit>Fill and chose Content-Aware in the Contents section at the top. To remove the stump, I went through the same process, except I selected it using the Lasso Tool. The easiest part was using the Polygonal Lasso Tool, because it easily makes a cornered selection. The Lasso Tool was a little more difficult, because it was a free handed selection.
