Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period?
"End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text."
This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new!

Alt Text: What to Write
Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.
