For people who actually use Alt Text and Image Descriptions

I typically write image descriptions that are extremely prose-like in order to capture the mood of a piece rather than writing a purely descriptive image description. But this does mean that I sometimes sacrifice details in favor of making the description sound nice. So I want to ask: do you guys prefer a more prose-like description that sacrifices some detail or a purely descriptive description?

As an example, here's a recent piece of mine and two different image descriptions. Description A is the prose-like description I originally wrote for this piece. Description B is a purely descriptive description I'd write for this piece.

Description A - Prose-like: A black hole is the closest thing we have to a physical manifestation of a god. It is what follows the collapse of a star, where information is lost, and where time seems to slow down. And yet he holds one in his lap like a playground ball. He rests his arms and head on top of it as if it were a toy. Power gently dances off of him in flames as he and the black hole simply exist within the known mathematical models of spacetime.

Description B - Purely Descriptive: An image of Super Sonic in space. His body is made of fire and his quills are flames that gently rise towards the top of the piece as large sparkles dance around him. His eyes are closed and he is resting his head on a black hole that he holds in his lap. The paths of celestial bodies circle around him. Behind him are gold geometric figures, including circles, labeled lines, and a protractor. The artist signature, JasmineByTheBay, is on the bottom of the image.

Reblogs from blogs that write Image Descriptions highly appreciated!! Feedback also highly appreciated (although I can't respond to comments on this post because this blog isn't my main blog)
