Why was this image rejected for an Intellectual Property violation?

I'm new to stock photography, so this may be "user error," but I was confused with a rejection of one of my images (below) on the grounds of an Intellectual Property violation. There is no recognizable feature that I can imagine that warrants this specific type of rejection. Any ideas? Is the canoe the problem (there is no brand name visible that I can see)?

Thanks,

Jon

Is there any writing on the paddles? It's too small in the version you uploaded to tell.

    Thanks Szalam. Not, there is not writing on the paddles, but your question prompted me to look at a higher resolution version and, although it's very dark, I can see writing (brand name) on the bow of the canoe, which I could not see in another version of this image. I suspect that is the reason why. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. -Jon

    Although, since pro photographers work for clients, and clients have brands, and brands have names and logos, why on earth would any sensible software throw up an infringement error???? How can you work for a client if you can't work on branded goods??????
