Hi, @rbanffy. I mentioned that decent alt text would have been nice. Its purpose is to make images accessible to people with visual impairments. Your version wouldn't give them any useful information. Someone suggested that I give you a link so that you could see how it might be done differently. So here is it. My approach to alt text is, "How would I describe this image to a friend on the phone?"
BTW, my version was boosted 500 times. People here like good alt text!

@bodhipaksa thank you - I was short on time. It'd be interesting to have some AI-based automation, as it might be more consistent as for the accessibility aspects and how screen readers would interpret it.
