"Instead of concentrating on her chest, concentrate on the woman's movement. If you see her spinning clockwise, that means you're using the right side, or more creative side of your brain. If she appears to be moving counter-clockwise, then that means the left side, or more logical side of your think muscle is superior. "

I see both.

Sometimes she is spinning one way then I'll look again and it seems she is spinning the other way.

I can't see her spinning counter clock-wise no matter how hard I try.

if looking from the top she is spinning counter-clockwise, and looking at the graphic of it to me I can not even imagine her spinning the other way. it looks like the way the leg goes behind she can't be spinning the "other way".

Looks like there is a loop, she is actaully spinning one direction for a set period of time then changing.  Watch her foot and shadow.
Or I'm just nuts

Probably the 2nd option

Totally spinning counter-clockwise.

I can't force her to spin any way but counter clockwise.

Right now all I see her doing is spinning clockwise

I agree with Tiger...I think she is spinning both ways.

Initially I was adamant she was going clockwise then suddenly she was going the other way.

counter clockwise for me, every once in awhile I almost see it rotate clockwise but then it goes back to counter clockwise
Title: Pretty cool. Which way is she Spinning?

I think it depends on how your looking at her.
I spent a full minute looking at her and she was only spinning clockwise.

Then as soon as I started looking a little bit down, only seeing her out of the top portion of my view she suddenly seemed to be spinning the other way. but when I looked back up fully at her again she was back to spinning clockwise.
this happened several times

Scroll down the photo until only the shadow is visible, wait a few seconds then scroll back up. When I do that she changes directions.

initially counterclockwise
when I came back clockwise..

that settles it I AM insane

Post by: Paxil on October 18, 2007, 02:38:42 PM
It isn't on a loop that changes direction, because two people can look at it at the same time and see it spinning different ways. Pretty cool.

Ok my daughter and I are both looking at it the exact same time.
She sees it spinning counter clockwise and I see it spinning clockwise.

United States/United Arab Emirates?

They both start with a U.

America/Armenia

They both start with an A.

I could go on and on...but it's okay.  You proved my point.

Hehe... Keep trying Dux, I got it to work after a minute or two.  Mav's method worked well, I first broke the cycle when hiding all but a small part of her.

actually its not that hard.  Mav is close to the clue how to do it.  

At first I could only see counter clockwise.  then I did what Mav suggested only I was looking at just the one foot (just a little bit) and the shadow.  watch it going counter clock wise then focus on it and "imagine a clock hand moving in a clockwise direction and then scroll back up.  I did it twice and changed it from counter clockwise to clockwise and then back again.

Yeah, the secret is to scroll down and just look at the legs.  If you view it as if you are looking down at a 30 degree angle, the legs turn one way.  But if you look at it as if you are looking up from the floor they turn the other way.
Title: Pretty cool. Which way is she Spinning?
Post by: ChickenHawk on October 18, 2007, 03:04:45 PM
She most definitely started out clockwise.  After a couple minutes of working at it, I can now get her to spin both ways.  It helps to scroll down and only look at her legs till she spins the other way and then scroll back up.
Title: Pretty cool. Which way is she Spinning?
Post by: GtoRA2 on October 18, 2007, 03:07:01 PM
I can get it to wag back and forth or go either direction, I do not think it is really rotating at all, but wagging.

Fascinating!
It was counter-clockwise for me until I tried Mickey1992's trick.

Yup... after playing with it for a while, I could cause it to spin either way or swing back and forth. Very cool effect!

I first could only see her spinning clockwise.  I figured that I was seeing it wrong, however, because it appeared that her pony tail was leading into her spin instead of following.  Then I did the concentrate on the foot on the floor thing and got her to spin the other way.  When I finally got to the point where I could see her whole body spinning counter clockwise, I was surprised to see that her pony tail was still leading into her spin instead of following!

If you're having trouble seeing her spin more than one way, put your hand over the top of her body and just watch the legs.  It just clicked for me, and she was spinnig the other way...

Cool effect.

I wonder does it work for anybody else.

Look at the picture. Let say, you see baby spins clockwise.  Take pen in your RIGHT hand and try to rotate it by your fingers for couple of minutes. Look at the picture: it spins counter clockwise for some time!

If it spins counter clockwise initially, do the same with your LEFT hand.

I'm I the only one that looks at the reflection/shadow to make the decision on spin direction?
Title: Pretty cool. Which way is she Spinning?
Post by: eagl on October 18, 2007, 10:09:11 PM
If you look at the shadow and think about it, she can only be spinning counterclockwise.  Anyone who "sees" clockwise is failing to notice the shadow and it's relationship to the scene and spinning figure.

I see it clockwise.  I can do the opposite of what was suggested and cover everything but her head and get her to turn CCW.  Then, after uncovering the rest of her, I can see her turn CCW for about 2 spins, then she reverses and continues to turn clockwise.

Post by: lazs2 on October 19, 2007, 08:54:29 AM
If I try the suggestion of scrolling down and then back up enough times.. I can see her going clockwise one time and one time only...  except for the two as eskimo showed.. in that case... at first.. it looked like they were each going a different direction...  after scrolling down..  they were both going counter clockwise and never went the other way again.

counter clockwise always dominates.

You're right, but only because the shadow is cut off by the edge of the pic.

He's right because we can see behind her and see the shadow when it goes behind her. When the shadow disappears it is becuase the leg is in front (towards us) and therefore clipped by the front edge of the pic.
