An optical illusion

In which direction does she spin?

So far, only clockwiswe for me. I'm trying to empty my brain more to see her going the other way, but I can't.

Oh, how neat.

I was thinking to myself "this is only going counter-clockwise, what does he mean" until I saw Loirae's posts - then suddenly I could get her to turn around.

Cool find!

At first, I saw her spinning counter-clockwise, then I saw her spinning clockwise, then counter-clockwise, then clockwise.

ARGH!!!! I just can't get her to turn around!!!!! I've seen stuff like this before, and been able to cross my eyes, so sapce out or whatever, but this girl keeps going clockwise.

GRRRrrrrr

I focused on the shadow of the foot and she turned the other way for me then, Very cool!

That was rough. I had to send it to my honey's puter. Then she rotated pretty fast. And Since he was looking at it, I had to watch from an angle. I finally saw the counter clockwise. But when I returned to my own puter, she was clockwise again. So, I sat to the side of my own computer and managed to get her to turn counter for 3/4 of a spin. But that's it.

Strange.

Cool

Both DKgiz and I saw her only as turning clock-wise. Then we read the other posts and after a while we both managed to see her going counter clock-wise, but was both unable to see her as going clock-wise again. Until suddently we could both make her change at will - doing a little back and forwards dance

Thanks for posting this

I mostly see her spin clocwise, turning her counter-clockwise is possible but difficult for me -- and then she turns clockwise again.

Watching from an angle and IMAGINING she is spinning the other way is how I do it, and anyway this picture IS cool.

Well apparently my brain is empty cause I can see her going in both directions

Cool

At the same time?!

Just found a similar illusion, but with a completely different secret (also making it easier to switch between the two directions)

In which direction does this wheel spin?

This ia a funny thing.When you look it's clock-wise,it will go clock-wise,and reserve it.

For that women: how do you make her move in different position? She only spins from left to right for me (clockwise?).

For other one, neither. It looks funny, but actually it's animation of two frames: one has white-black fields in order, and other one with all switched fields (fields change to another colour).

For the direction, still: it depends how do you look at the picture.

EDIT: I just looked the picture carefully and I think I made her spin slower!

weeStinker: I recommend to look at an angle and IMAGINE she is going the other way -- then look straight again.
With luck, you may see her turn around.
