I've not dealt with visually challenged people for a long time - I wonder how much text is required to adequately explain the image for someone who can't see it.
There's the old saw about "a picture is worth a thousand words" so loosely, any problem where a photo is needed would need a lot of words.

Someone asks about a distrubution board and posts a photo saying "here's my board, is this right?" and there's a photo of an open panel.
It could need "distribution board for 100A service in the US, using hutchison breakers. the third on the left is 240V and is labelled dryer. The other labels are light1 light2 dryer heater1 heater2. On the right side the labels are HWC stove AC. The AC breaker is in the OFF position. There is burning on the blue wire in the AC breaker"

The lunar retroreflectors left by Apollo astronauts had bubble levels and Sun compasses to that they could be oriented correctly with respect to Earth's average direction. This was necessary to maximize brightness on Earth they still [have to count individual photons reflected and to minimize the...

My point was perhaps better illustrated by those last two images above - What would be a succinct description in text that would help?
"greyscale photo of a bubble level as deployed on a retro-reflector while on the lunar surface. One astronaut footprint in Lunar regolith visible in upper-right corner."
the title of "how many bubble levels..." doesn't depend on the image at all, other than for supporting information
If the question happened to have been "what is this thing on the top of the retroreflector left by apollo missions on the moon?" then the photo is critical to the question.
