Hi Charisma, 

Yes, please let me know. I'll email the proofreader and submitter and share the 
guidelines. Those are great examples of image descriptions that do not have 
enough information! True, image descriptions should be concise, but they should 
also be helpful!

Thanks, 

Madeleine

Thanks Madeleine, I will try to track down the book again. It was so vague as 
to be useless, something like: "The picture shows 5 children".  No description 
of environment (inside, outside, under a tarp, in a train), no descriptions of 
actions they may or may not be taking (sitting, standing, running, fighting), 
not even "2 girls and 3 boys". It was more distracting to have them there than 
not.
