You should post if you have a dominant hand along with what you see.

Initially I saw her moving counter-clockwise (I am left handed).

If you blink real fast and catch it at the right moment, she will change direction.

I'm right handed. So does that make me a mutant?

It started counter clockwise, then went to clockwise, then back and forth again and again.  Why?  Because she keeps alternating the leg she's standing on.  Basically, after a certain amount of time, the image mirrors itself and repeats, causing both to occur.

Which way you see has nothing to do with your dominate hand.  It really does switch, and the leg she's standing on does change.  Someone has played you for a sap.

thatguy's right - it's the animation that changes.

It's also interesting to note that she has nipples.  Apparently it took me this long to notice.  As a guy, I'm shocked.

The only mutant is thatguy for trying too hard.

And duh. I opened the file in ImageReady and saw what it was doing. Stop being a party pooper.

Its just like the drawings of the hourglass/kissing faces or old maid/young girl. Its what you perceive it to be.

It's cool, blocking the rest of her, I can watch just the legs specifically and see her constantly spinning towards the front. I'm working on switching my perception so that I can change the direction I see when viewing her whole body now.

Yeah but aren't those images static? This appears to be changing.

Oh wow, you're right, the animation does switch legs. ::angry::

And angry because they didn't need to cheat. The optical illusion would work even WITHOUT them switching the legs on you. I can make myself see either direction willingly no matter what foot she's standing on.

What? I watched, saw a flash, and suddenly she was going the other way.  Then, I looked at the feet, and saw that they changed in the quick flash.  It's not what you perceive it as, it really is when you perceive it.  By the time you read that it means which hand is dominant, odds are, it's changed.  As a human, if what you saw aligns with what bustin said, you won't double check.  If what you saw didn't match up, you'll look again, and probably see the opposite, and then be satisfied.

This cake is a lie, and it didn't take much to notice that.

As far as her feet go, they get larger as they approach the center, and at the moment of crossing, they become small.  So yes, this could be true as an illusion pertaining to feet, but it isn't true pertaining to the entire body.

So am I freak or not for seeing it move counterclockwise even though I'm right handed?

Wait for her to stand on her right foot, then say you can't see it counterclockwise.

I think I can see her spin both directions concentrating on her thumbs as well.

I see it spinning clockwise, standing on the left leg

I have NO IDEA how are you all seeing the foot change, since it doesn't happen (open the gif on ImageReady or something...)

I wasn't sure it wasn't a trick, so I loaded it up in the GIMP, stepped through it frame by frame (there're only 34 frames, no room for trickery), and if I tried really hard, I could change my perceptions and make it look like she turned around on the frames where her legs overlapped.
