I just got an automatic removal due to suspected copyright for a picture of a flower

I just uploaded a picture of a flower and got the message ### This content was automatically removed due to suspected copyright/trademark infringement. Is there a way to appeal this? Does it look bad on my. record. Or should I just let it go because I have more pictures of flowers? And I mean what in the world are they talking about I’ve seen images of other things on other people’s accounts that should have been flagged and a flower gets flagged. This is the first time I’ve experienced this so I don’t know how common it is.

That picture looks fine to me, was there something in the description or title that may have caused the removal?
It’s always good to duplicate things before Publishing, that way you’ll always still have a copy to work with and edit if necessary.

DUPLICATION BEFORE PUBLICATION

Some images are Copyright . Usually if the Face Is Taken down instantly it is Marvins work . A BOT can scan text instantly . We are not allowed to us a lot of English Words Like Zenith and Ladybird .
