If you look at the first frame and see her facing away from you then you will see her spin clockwise.

Yet, if you use logic, like fena does, she's spinning clock-wise from HER point ofview.
I myself see her spinning clockwise.
I see her spinning clockwise too.
And if Cruor sees it that way, then I think that's the right way, because he's like the smartest guy I know, even though I don't really know him, lol.

woah thats messed up, the first time i looked at it i looked from the top down and i could see it was clockwise, then i closed the page and read some of the posts, then went back and then it was counterclockwise, now i can't get counter clockwise out of my head, the 2nd time i looked at it i was looking from the shadow at the feet first, then when my eyes went up it was counterclockwise, so both?

I'm unable to see her spin counterclockwise, even though I'm trying really hard, lol.
I see that her shadow is spinning counterclockwise, but her herself is spinning clockwise, I am 100% sure.

i found a trick to figure how to controll the way she's spinning
it matter where you are looking when you first focus on her,
if first focus on middle to top part of screen when i open the link i'll see clockwise
if i look on the lower half i'll see counter and my eyes are free to look around and she'll keep spinning that way, even if i turn my head and look away and look back she's still spinning that way because part of me knows thats the way she should be spinning, so it matters where you first looked
I havn't tried if the left or right half matters, but top and bottom do, its like how we are used to reading is you look from top down, but natrually i look at things from the bottom up, which is why at first i saw her spinning clock wise becuase i was reading and then looked over

I thought the if you see the girl go counter-clockwise you're using your left part of the brain more and if you see her go clock wise you're using your left part of the brain more?...
Now....... all you people say it's clockwise just because Cruor said it's clockwise.
No Offense but I see it go counter-clockwise and I don't care what you guys say.

I see it going clockwise the first time around. After seeing cruor's pic, the illusion of its ambiguosity becomes very apparent. Without the lines, I would still see it going clockwise. I think I cant separate not looking at the pic without being influenced by the hands and body rotation, and taking the whole silhoette into account.
I'm very convince though, that I am getting dizzy.

i didnt even read what cruor wrote until now when you told me about it -.-
I brought up that cruor said it was clockwise, but I honestly see it clockwise, and can't see it ccw.
Though I see the shadow, that just doesn't help me think it's going clockwise.
