No, I can see the pictures and which one is selected, and VoiceOver is reading the wrong description. The first image is the one of water droplets on a grey background and is given as "photo of a calm lake with mountains in the distance and shooting stars in the sky". That's a good description of the second image, which is described as "photo of a desert oasis in the distance". The third image is the one of earth from space, which is also given a description that matches the second image - "photo of mountains in the distance during twilight with water in the foreground".
Odd, especially as no-one else seems to be getting this!
