It looks like the left-brainers are catching up now.

Clockwise and I can't get it to switch. What's the trick to seeing it the other way?

Look at it and move your head to the left or right so its just out of view and it will change when it comes back into view.

When I first saw the image it was oscillating back and forth no doing full rotations.

Maybe we should add something to the poll if we have been drinking...it's almost "Cocktail Thirty."

I give up. I could never see the things in those 3D pictures either.

I suspect it's attempt to fool us. The image itself spins in alternating directions. My wife and I both looked at. It switched the opposite way for both of us at the same time.
Has anyone looked at it with another person and each person saw it turning in a different direction?

Wouldn't it depend on your point of view? If you imagine that you are looking from above, she is turning clockwise. If you imagine that you are looking up from below, she's turning counterclockwise.
OR - the opposite of what I just typed, depending on the left brain/right brain thing.


PS: If I force my self to look at just her foot (the one on the ground most of the time), she appears to rotate in the opposite direction, however once I look at the rest of her, she goes back to rotating clockwise.

I've come to this post several times and she's always "clockwise"!

Nope...I can make it switch on demand. I can keep it spinning in either direction indefinitely, or switch it back and forth in a manner of seconds.

These things are always a little difficult to explain, but try this. As much as possible, concentrate on only the lowered foot - try to ignore the rest of the image, as difficult as that might be for you boobie addicts.

Since this point of the picture has a much smaller diameter of content spinning away from the center axis, it's easier to "trick" your mind into seeing the foot spinning in either direction.

Once you see the foot change directions, look upwards and the rest of the image will follow. With a little practice, you can probably get it to switch almost immediately.
