no. counter-clockwise requires her to be on her right foot, left arm extended, head cocked to the left.
both of these images use the same frame, but i've drawn the features in different ways to show to how it can be interpreted.
I like to complain |

Ok... I have tried and tried and I can't see the girl going counter clockwise.
Even after PixieSteve's help.
I asked mr awestruck for his opinion and he sees them both ways...in under 1 minute.
I looked at the cube and I see it going COUNTERclockwise. This is madness.

Ok, thanks Steve. I still can't see it, but I think there's now more hope.
But, doesn't the presence of her nipples make counter-clockwise impossible? Seriously. |

| I am a bit late here, and feel very out of place. I think this is some cruel trick. First time I looked...all I could see was counterclockwise...waited a couple hours....now all I see is clockwise. I bet if I go back and look at it again it will change again. Whatever it is it is a pretty nifty trick. |

I just can't see it going anticlockwise at all. I'm right handed.

It took me a while to get her to switch to counter-clockwise, but here are two methods.
1. look at her out in your peripheral vision, it works best for me out of the left eye.
2. cover her body, the leg may appear to swing in from 6 O'clock.

| When I first stared at the image above....totally counterclockwise, read your post, looked up, totally going clockwise. Damn! If I could just make the switch on cue! |

I'm getting her to switch on cue by imagining it first, then looking for confirmation. And I think you can time a switch when her outstretched toe is is at edge of frame.
Freaky to see that when she's turning clock it's her right leg outstretched but left when she's turning counter-clock. What we're fooled by I think is there's very little difference between her front and back in silhouette.

I could only see it going anti-clockwise, and had to really strain to see the other way.
Though I am a left-handed language student. |

Ok... I have finally seen her go counter clockwise. I had to focus on the shadow of her foot going in and out of the
picture then I was able to see it.
If that helps anybody...

OMIGOD! She is going counterclockwise all of sudden.

Coincidence?

I thought it was crap, too.
Seriously though, I can only see it on the original pic with the shadow. I can't see her go counter clockwise on the one without
the shadow.

This is a conspiracy to make me think part of my brain doesn't work. There is just no way that anyone can see her going anticlockwise! Anyone who says they can is a liar! A LIAR!!!
Or maybe my brain just really doesn't work :(

I showed it to my wife. She can make the dancer reverse by looking at her peripherally with one eye or the other -- which supports the left brain/right brain theory.

Looks clockwise to me. And I'm right-handed, and pretty good with math and language, but I guess I'm also "fantasy-based." I don't really buy the right-brain/left-brain thing, though.
