Thank you all for responses.

Jonathan, idea of adding fields is great; although it's an additional work

Glenn, thank you for sharing PPT example. That's awesome.

Sean - I agree that it may not be practically possible for screen reader

is positioned in the right way.
Of course, technology cannot say whether face is inserted or just the hair

Thank you guys,
