Just describe your image in the best way possible. Don't junk up your image description with needless adjectives and keywords that don't apply.

A good alt tag description is about 160 characters long and accurately describes the content of the image. These alt tags are necessary for Google to know what is going on in your picture so it can be ranked properly.
