@stefan A lot of people voted but hardly anyone answered, lol.

I said as much detail as possible mostly because I figure if you can see it, I should be able to see it too! As in, don't leave information out because you think it's unimportant. I should be the judge of that! But of course in practice it's a bit different, lol. Usually just saying everything in the picture should be enough, no need to say where everything is in relation to each other, for example. Whimsy is also good!

@Fragglemuppet Yeah, the results of this poll were bound to be lopsided, I wish I had the means to only ask blind people directly. But I think this is still very insightful, especially reading the comments.

So thank you for sharing your thoughts!
