@dgar #AltText is where my BA in English intersects with my nature photography. I might sometimes be guilty of the overkill you describe, but I enjoy describing the object of my photo (bird, plant, etc.) and the foreground and background.
Interestingly, now that you call my attention to it I realize I do this more for my own photos than for other images I share. Whatever that means.

If youβre describing your own photograph, then a comprehensive description from the photographer is only going to add value. Particularly is the topic of the toot is photography.
