There is a new leaf icon appearing in my images in my Photos library that provides information on the image when selected. I find this very distracting and would like to disable it. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is the new "visual lookup" introduced by Photos 7 on Monterey. It is not yet available in all countries, so I cannot test it.
macOS Monterey - New Features - Apple
Visual Look Up
Swipe up or click the information button on any photo to highlight recognized objects and scenes. Learn more about popular art and landmarks around the world, plants and flowers out in nature, books, and breeds of pets.
According to the user guide, the overlay will only be shown, if the Info panel is open. Learn more about a photo using Visual Look Up in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
Live Text in photos
Text is now completely interactive in all your photos, so you can use functions like copy and paste, lookup, and translate. Live Text works in Photos, Screenshot, Quick Look, and Safari.8

What version of MacOS/Photos
I don't know what you mean by leaf icon - a screenshot might help (CMD-shift-4 - drag a box - it is saved to your desktop)
Okay. The icon is in the middle of the photo.
That is exactly the information I needed! I just checked a photo in my library. I always keep the info visible so closed it. The icon disappeared! Thanks so much.
