That rather depends on what you mean by "descriptive information". The alt attribute should carry the *text alternative* for the *meaning* of the image. So "available" might be correct, but "green ball" is not. Neither is keyword-stuffing. A useful rule of thumb is to read the page out loud, as though you are doing so to someone, via a telephone.
