Its not going to make a great deal of difference if you can squeeze an extra keyword in here and there. I wouldn't even bother, instead close your eyes and use a text reader to read out your alt tag. Did it make sense / describe the picture?

Bottom line . . . Optimise for your users

I agree with Ryan. To add, SEOptimizers do sometimes forget the userfriendliness while making their sites SE friendly.
