I achieved it by focusing on the space between the foot on the floor and its reflection.

I watched her go anti clockwise, then was startled to see her going clockwise, then watched carfully and she went anticlockwise again, then clockwise.

No wonder I don't trust my senses in the world. no wonder!

Oh, that was damned weird! I saw clockwise until I went and read the bit about how some people could see counter-clockwise, and when I looked back it WAS counter clockwise. Until I closed my eyes and reloaded the page, when it once again was clockwise.

What the heck!???

oh, the whole reflection thing was moot, as I hadn't pulled up the whole pic on my browser window. I was seeing it with out the reflection at all.
When Lau pointed this out to me, I watched with the reflection in the pic. . .but it didn't really make any difference. She rotated both ways randomly.
