Ugh, I only see her as spinning counterclockwise, nothing else.  Even trying to block out the shadow and unfocusing the eyes, etc.. still just going counterclockwise to me.   Sad Panda

Same here.  She only spins counterclockwise for me.

Over and out.

Finally I can control her at will. Shadow=Counterclockwise, Ankle=Clockwise.

Dance, my little puppet, dance!

Now try making her spin back and forth with her "back" facing you.

Huh, it started clockwise, then went counter, then back, then counter again. Now my brain is stuck on it being counter only.

I can only get clockwise.

I've tried all of your shyster tricks and nothing works.  I think you're all nuts.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

I'm looking at her foot or at her shadow alternatively. How could I possibly know if her back is or isn't towards me!  rolleyes

I was convinced the GIF was changing from clockwise to counter-clockwise. Then I got a 2nd viewer to watch it with me and they saw it change at different times then me.

That is cool.

Ok, now I got it - can make it switch back and forth by looking at the shadow or the outstretched foot.

Ok, so I was about ready to call of you guys nuts... until she switched pivot feet and started turning clockwise.  That is a truly funky little image.

When I first saw it, she flipped directions several times before I realized what I was watching.  Then she got stuck going clockwise.

Thanks, that fixed my brain.  Or broke it.  That's a trip.

Interesting, the outstretched foot doesn't work for me, only the one pointing towards the ground. Must be different for lefties!  :-D

I concur with this assessment.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

I've already seen it as an avatar on the CoX forums.

None of the little "tricks" worked for me either.  I just tried to MAKE my brain see the image changing directions, basically saying, "Ok, what if these guys are actually seeing something that is happening".  All of a sudden your brain will make the leg move left-right or right-left depending on how you want to see it.

That the pivot foot changes is still what boggles my mind.
