With alt txt / alt text / Descriptions, don't just repeat the accompanying text. Sight-impaired people can already get that from the accompanying text.

Add detail if possible. Describe why you're using that image. Provide missing context.

You can think of #AltText as additional word count to provide deeper, richer experiences.

So, not just "A black bird" but "A large crow with opened wings on a tree stump in Fall in Maine. It is calling loudly"

@GasheadAu I like to use alt text descriptions to work on my creative writing skills.

@yaffi As long as you're centering your text on informing and helping the viewer find out about the image – then that sounds like a plan.

@GasheadAu yes! Not getting overly floral and away from the objective here.
