Yep, it’s always clockwise to me too but I can force it to be the other way if I really want to. This whole thing begs the question: Why do left brain people see it one way and right brain the other? I’d think it would be random.

Cool blog Colleen. I have seen the twirling dancer on websites for a long time now, but she was always clockwise. After the read through, I can make her go counter clockwise if I scan the picture starting at her feet, but she keeps snapping back to clockwise. Cheers!

I can make her spin both ways at will. One thing you might try if you can't get her too is to watch her the pivot foot and think about which way it should spin. Just a Bloggers last blog post..The best Christmas gift ever

100% anticlock wise and bouncing from right leg.

…the way i see it with my browser, it turns clockwise and counter even when i look at her head or shoulder or on her foot… even tried looking from a peripheral view, still the same random motion. I didn’t even think about it… I’m laughing at myself too. logically, it is an optical illusion, saves us from thinking. i just wonder if i’m a disturbed person after all… lol

No, if you look at her butt you can keep it going one way for a long time. If you look at the feet you can make it change. It is all in whether you think the leg is going in front or behind the leg standing. I believe it is an optical illusion. The joke is on those who think that it changes.

On the first note, i thought you're right, that you can make it turn whichever way just by choosing whether the bouncing foot is left or right. I saw clockwise first too, then decided to sort of imagine what if she's bouncing on her right foot, then suddenly it turned counter. But you can unveil the trick if you can actually see it in slow motion that you can behold how it actually reverses randomly on clockwise or counter motion. You won't notice it if you just broke it into frames cause there it's not in motion. Though you're right on the silhouette effect, makes it appear both ways. fayes last blog post..Red Mobile: Smart Takes a Pawn and Seeks a Fork

At first she went counter and I looke up again and shewent counter. I tnink I fall from being areasoned rational person to being anemotional blob. If you look at the feet you can make her go either way.

She is built like a brick house, but then again, I am a joker.
