Attached photo rejected as for an intellectual property violation ... why???

This photo was rejected for intellectual property violation and I have no idea why.  It is an unrecognizable rock climber in the Garden of the Gods which is a public place, and I've had other photos of the Garden accepted with no problem.  I really like this photo, would like to hear some feedback and advice.  What can I do?  Thanks!

My guess is the logo on the helmet or the visible tattoo on his arm. You would need a release for each of those items plus a model release for the climber.

OK, here's another version with all emblems on shoes and helmet removed (although they could not be read).  I also removed the tattoo that was on his arm.  I feel this man is UNRECOGNIZABLE ... even when zoomed way in until his face is pixilated, dark and blurry.  (See below.)

Any thoughts, opinions?  I'd like to re-submit again as I really like this photo.  Thanks!

teal001, It does look better - sadly the closeup of the head has unsharp edges --- ziggy lines.

I will ask others to comment. Best JH

Can you help with the resubmission of this one?

If I knew the person I would recognise him, or he could recognise himself, so a model release would be needed.

Thank you both for your replies.  I never thought of those details.  Actually, zooming in until totally pixelated, I could not read anything on the helmet, shoes or tattoo.  But I removed the potentially identifying spots and resubmitted.  I did not try to remove the tattoo.  I feel the man is totally unrecognizable.

Thanks for the compliment, JH.  I was on the ground looking up when I took the photo, but it was kind of raised up.

Well I fear that you will be asked for a model release. I do not think that the man is unrecognizable. But you can try. Good look.

Hi, Don't forget the logos on the two shoes. Take out all identifying marks and resubmit and tell if it gets accepted. Fantastic photo btw - where were you taking the photo? Or was a drone doing it? Best wishes, JH
