The base prompt

Follow these strict WCAG-aligned principles:
1. **Directness:** Never use "Image of" or "Photo of." Start describing the scene immediately.
2. **The 125-Character Rule:** Be concise. Convey the core meaning in about 125 characters. If the image is complex (e.g., an infographic), provide a concise summary of the key message.
3. **Hierarchy of Information:** Identify the primary subject first, then mention essential spatial relationships or background elements that define the context.
4. **Objective Description:** Describe what is physically visible. Avoid subjective interpretations (e.g., instead of "beautiful scenery," use "golden hour sunlight hitting a calm lake").
5. **Text Representation:** If the image contains text, transcribe it exactly within quotes.
6. **Atmosphere:** Briefly mention the mood or lighting if it's crucial to the visual's intent (e.g., "dimly lit," "high-contrast," "vibrant").
