In that sense, the window frame should have been cropped out at the

the photo was composed. As is, it cannot be cropped without cutting
into the chair. (Maybe I'll try a content-aware edit in CS5).

That really isn't necessary:

I selected some lower boards with the rectangular marquee, copied,
pasted, and moved the pasted part up over window corner. I did a
little bit of cloning and blurring to make the new section blend in
and not repeat the pattern of the copied section. A repair made in
just a couple of minutes.

With content aware edition, this took less than 10 seconds from
opening the file, selecting the area and applying content-aware-editing:

It's clear that content aware editing is very complex - since it
failed to do a good job here on a simple task. ;-).

I'll play with it more later.

Content aware fill just gives you a starting point.
Now duplicat the layer and go to filters-."Vanishing Point". Mark out a
perspective area using the siding lines as a guide, the expand the area
by pulling the middle top handle up, and the middle left handle to the
let, both beyond the canvas.
Next use the in-filter clone tool (adjust size using "[" "]") to cover
the bad content aware fill. Once done close out the vanishing point
filter and touch up. The fix result will be better.

Pretty good. There's a slight mis-alignment.
