In which ways I limit my image descriptions because I have to; CW: long (almost 2,300 characters), image description meta

I've only imposed a few limitations upon my own descriptions of my original images.
One,
I don't describe anything that's entirely outside the borders of the image. The only exception is the position of the Sun if the (virtual) sunlight creates visible shadows.
Two,
I don't describe anything that's entirely concealed behind something else. And I limit my descriptions of anything that's partially concealed. Exception: I still transcribe any text that's partially concealed if I can source it.
Three,
I don't describe any surfaces that fully face away from the point of view.Four,
I no longer give detailed descriptions of images within my image that go beyond what these images themselves show in-world. If details are revealed by looking at the scenery in-world as opposed to the image with its limited resolution, I describe them. If they are revealed by walking or moving the camera within the scope of the image itself, I describe them. But if details are only revealed by walking or moving the camera farther away or even by teleporting, then I won't describe them anymore.
The latter limitation comes from
one of my latest image posts. I had a preview image on a teleporter, an aerial view that didn't even show any actual details of the destination. If it had shown more details, it would have revealed hundreds upon hundreds of single-destination teleporters, dozens of them with their own detailed preview images and even with images within these images. In this preview image, however, each one of these single-destination teleporters was not even the size of one pixel. They fully blended in with the ground.
I've given detailed descriptions of images in an image before. At least twice. In over 4,500 characters each. After both, I actually had to tell my readers which description level I'm returning to, that I'm getting back from describing an image within the image to describing the image itself.
And I've technically described various images in various images in an image before. The longest ones of these sub-sub-descriptions barely exceed 1,000 characters, though.
