A photo showing, in the foreground, a goose standing on a dead tree log on the surface of a lake. It is flapping its wings and they are extended backwards. In the background dead trees and branches, with warm glowing light coming from the top right corner. The overall color palette is mostly warm browns and ochres. a close-up photo of dried up lime tree seeds dangling from a thin branch. The seeds at the tip of the branch are lit by warm sunlight. The background is out of focus. The overall color palette is browns and ochres. a close up photo of catkins with water droplets hanging from their tips. The color palette is browns and ochres. A photo of a group of cackling geese resting amidst twisted branches and twigs on the surface of a lake. The branches are covered in a thin layer of snow. In the foreground on the right side of the photo, an out of focus goose. The mirror like surface of the water reflects warm golden light. The overall color palette is browns and warm ochres, with some muted grays where the snow is.

ballpoint pens are a great drawing tool but when i see fine artists who use bic pens for their commissions... i wonder if they (and their clients) know archivality(??) of bic pens is at best... bad

A photo that shows on the right side a swan resting on the surface of a lake, under snow covered branches coming from the left side of the picture. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall palette is very muted, blue-grays. The swan's warm white plumage and bright orange bill stand out. A photo of a flock of eleven cackling geese flying out of thick fog in perfect V formation. In the bottom left, the top of a snow covered tree. The sky is very overcast and the overall color palette of the image is muted grays and blues. A photo showing the surface of a lake. In the foreground, two tall branches stand above the water, and on the right side of the those branches, a swan sleeps, curled up on itself. In the background, snow covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted, mostly gray, except for warm glow of sunlight hitting the back of the trees and the surface of the water. A photo showing, in the foreground, on the lefthand side, a swan and on the righthand side, gnarled branches of a dead tree above the water, seemingly reaching towards the swan. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted but a warm glow illuminates the whole image. A sliver of sunlight hits the surface of the water and illuminates the swan.

cool street photos from the past couple weeks
A black and white photograph showing an strongly contrasted urban scene. In the background, classic parisian appartment buildings. In the middleground a more modern curved structure. In the bottom left corner a ray of light falls on two security guards leaning against a wall, writing on the wall behind them reads "Chatelet Les Halles). A strongly constrasted black and white photo of an urban setting. On the bottom right of the photo, a man is standing on the curb, waiting to cross at a zebra crossing. The man stands in a sliver of light and casts a long shadow on the street. He stands out on the background that is mostly in the shadows. The light also illuminates a seemingly abandoned appartment building in the background. A strongly constrasted black and white photo of an urban setting. It shows a white wall with strong sunlight hitting it. In the left half of the image, a lamppost catches a shadow on the wall. The image is almost abstract and geometric A strongly contrasted black and white of an urban setting. In the foreground, in the bottom right of the image, a man is seen from behind, walking forward. In the background a tall and slim appartment building with art deco architecture, stands out in the light against the dark sky.

amazing textures at the lake today
a photo showing a frozen lake partially covered in snow the snow creates horizontal stripes contrasting with the black ice underneath far in the background, out of focus trees overall color pallette is very monochromatic a photo of the frozen surface of a lake with snow collecting in the shape of a circle around a spot very strong contrast between the white shape created by the snow and the black ice underneath a photo of pebbles in shalow water under a layer of ice the ice creates a pixellation effect and gives the pebbles an almost painterly, abstract look muted color palette of light browns, blacks and whites a photo of two coots (black waterfowl with a white bill) on the surface of a lake, with frozen trees out of focus in the background heavy snowfall makes the photo look very noisy and almost abstract muted color palette of very desaturated browns and greens

genuine question: what do you think of my alt text here?
haven't been very diligent with it cause i genuinely don't know how to do it correctly in a way that's actually useful to screen reader users..
I find it especially hard on my artwork
