| 608042 | 2007-11-04 20:21:00 | Look at her feet, and then back to the whole body. Nope - I still see no sign of any movement or anything happening. Just a completely stationary figure. I have tried with and without glasses. No change. I thought I detected a slight turn when I took my glasses off but that was because I could not see the whole of her foot when not using my specs. and it only happened for the split second when my eyes were trying to adapt. Is it me? or does my computer fail to capture the complete picture? Tom |

| 608044 | 2007-11-04 20:27:00 | She never changes direction - what changes is which direction you perceive her to be turning in. Like most things. What you see is what you get. |

| 608046 | 2007-11-06 05:34:00 | Anti-clockwise - you can tell by the shadow of the foot. The light is behind her so the foot she has in the air is seen when her leg is away from you and when her leg is toward you, the shadow moves out of view. |

| 608048 | 2007-11-06 06:28:00 | I managed to get her to turn the other way - originally clockwise. :) Once I got her going anticlockwise, it was easy to change her direction. :D |

If you blink when her foot is pointing to either the left or the right direction is changed. I've tried it and had her doing a half circle then turning repeatedly. So its an optical illusion. |

| 608051 | 2007-11-07 06:10:00 | So its an optical illusion. No, it's not. I agree that if you look at the body, you can blink and make it change "direction" at will, but if you look at the shadow (or reflection) of the foot, then she is always spinning in the same direction. [anti-clockwise] |
