clockwise or CCW?

can see both, focus on left side of screen and look back and it turns ccw, focus on feet/shadow and it starts to turn cw, then focus on left side of screen again and it changes to ccw.

edit: cw her right leg is up, ccw, left leg

Huh that is weird. I first looked at it and it was CCW so I kept staring at it and it was clearly CCW.

I look down for a split second and all of a sudden the thing is clearly CW. I closed it and re-opened and it is clearly CW... I don't know how it was CCW originally.

Actually watching it more, it seems to switch back and forth.

I saw CW first and thought no way is it spinning another direction.

Then, realizing the silhouette illusion, closed my eyes and visualized it turning CCW.
Sure enough, it seemed to be turning CCW when I opened my eyes.

Now I'm doing it again, switching back and forth each time.
I probably look like Hiro. 😛
 
I see CW only. This is really pissing me off, because I'm trying to see the CCW.

ARGH@@!!@!

edit: I finally found the CCW.
 
Ehh It's CCW. I looked at it forever and it's definitely CCW. It took less than a second to realize this. Then again I consider myself extremey logic based in almost everything.

Edit: focus on the feet and the shadow. tell yourself its turning a certain way. You know how the shadow would look like in CCW and CW motion, so if you start imagining a certain way it will look that way and then bam. You get CW/CCW motion.

Edit2: The change from CW to CCW or vice versa occurs when her protruding foot hits the 9:00 or 3:00 position depending what you initially see.

Awww crap. I thought for sure that I was right, that she was spinning clockwise, and that the rest of you were nuts. Then I scrolled down and focused just on her feet. I was able to switch that around and then slowly scroll up to the rest of her body. Now she's spinning counter clockwise.

Either way, I'm still left brained so it's therefore a dumb test!

I had the exact same sequence of events when I looked at it. I am also left brained.
 
I can get her to go back and forth by just looking at the shadow, but as soon as my eye moves up to the extended foot she's back to clockwise.

Dumb bitch.
 
I've tried it 10 times opening and closing it, it's always CCW. I'm very left brained, though, so that makes sense.
 
CW, and I'm left brain. It took me a few moments to force it to switch, my brain kept saying "she's spinning CW, what is the CCW you speak of?"

Once I change it, it's similarly difficult to change it back.
 

CW/CCW changes depending on whether you're looking down on the spinning whore from top or looking up at her from her feet. Just a matter of your POV and reference.

If you're looking down from top, she's spinning CCW (most people would perceive it this way, since that's the POV that you're always used to - i.e. looking down towards your feet). If you're looking up from bottom (for men, imagine spinnign your lady while having sex), she's spinning CW...
 
My brother was seeing it clockwise while at the same time I was seeing it CCW. Then it switched back and forth at random times. I'm so confused.

I saw it moving CW but the bolded ones are basically me. Kinda strange.

No, if you're looking down from the top she is spinning CW. Watch her raised foot against a horizontal reference point line.
 
i think the reflection is what is able to help trick out mind. at least for me.

I am split brained, very much. I am a person of reason and science, but understand the meaning of many things and also have a photographic and creative mind and like to create strategies. Those are all mixes of each hemisphere.
As far as the whore, I naturally see her spinning clockwise, but I can essentially get her to switch direction by using the floor, reflection, and her spinning feet to trick my mind into believing it's the other way. But like I said, naturally she is spinning clockwise from my perspective.

She spins both directions regardless of which viewpoint you choose.

Interesting bit, the leg that is straight down (the one on the axis of rotation) always appears to spin clockwise if you look at that foot. Even when I was seeing the image spin counterclockwise, the foot was still spinning clockwise.

That may be true for you, but it's not universally true (it's unclear which you were getting at). The foot is the only part of the body that I CAN see spinning counter-clockwise if I try.
 
I've looked at the picture for 5 or 10 mins straight, I can only see it moving clockwise, no matter what I imagine or where I look it's only going clockwise.
Nice nips btw, and she's nude 😛

I've seen this picture like a year ago and I could see it moving counterclockwise after a bit, but now I can't.


*nevermind after more time I called my brother I can see it spinning backwards and alternating. It's not rigged because both of us saw the model spinning different directions at same time, multiple times 😛

No sir! If you look at her spinning foot only, it oscillates up and down as well as left to right. If you are looking "down" at her, it's impossible for her spinning foot to look *higher* when it is in *back* of her. And if she is spinning CCW and you are looking "down" at her, then why can you see the sole and instep of her lower foot?

I'm about ready to download an animated GIF program and pull out the component images.
