I know of no easy way to do this. There is a program called Photoscape that
will let you do this in a round about way, but even then it would involve
some trial and error. GIMP could also do it in a round about way, but you
might not want to learn such a powerful program for a relatively simple
task.

Maybe a seam carving program is what you are looking for? It let's you
re-size a photo and maintaining perspective while removing elements within
the photo. Hard to describe... Google on it to read the theory. There's a
couple of freeware programs like this out there but I've never had much luck
with them. I find they always introduce unacceptable distortions within my
photos.
