Witch way do you see her spin?

I see her spin clockwise 75% of the time.

I don't know. I can change it back and forth by looking away and then looking back at it.

Right brained people see her spin clockwise and vice versa.

I only see her spin anticlockwise I can't seem to change it

I'm horrible with the whole clock-wise thing....

98 percent of the time her foot is going from bottom right to bottom left of my monitor, every once in a while she will turn around for a spin (1 or 2) then back to how she was going.

The first time I looked at it she was spinning clockwise for a really long time and then suddenly she started going the other way. I thought it must be a timed picture or something where it spins one way for a while and then starts going the other way. Then I did some research on it and now I can change her direction by looking at the space between her foot and her shadow for a few seconds and "willing" it to go the other way. Sounds ridiculous but that's what it feels like.

No, it shows witch hemisphere of your brain your using!! !! !

That might be true, I'm just saying that once you know how it works you can make it go either way.

Wow that is trippy. I looked at the still frames of it and then went back to the spinning picture. I covered half of it with my hand at a time. The right half is moving clockwise, the left moves counterclockwise. Sorry if this is totally obvious to everyone else...I just like analyzing things and breaking them down.

but its just a gif if u look at the individual frames they are actually moving one way

ahhh i get it now the illusion is you getting mixed up between what leg is what then making a descision on which way they are spinning because of it

I see her spin both ways. Especially if I focus on the shadow and then back at her. Odd.
