Hello:
I have found that the more skilled the screen reader user the more they don't want the images spoken . My self if its decorative I say don't label them. But the beginner or intermediate user says don't leave me out label all the pictures so I know about them. It's a tuff call but its best to not have the images be important and then not to label them.
