Okay, this was strange...every time I've seen this before, I've always said, "DUDE! What are you talking about? She always spins clockwise...farging nonsense it is." 

So I look at it here, sure enough, the little twerp is spinning clockwise like there's no tomorrow. I look up, look back down again...

THE LITTLE TRAMP HAS CHANGED DIRECTIONS ON ME!!!

What giveth?

Yeah it seems to me that there is a definite point where it changes.  I think that it is just supposed to screw with people and make them think the change is in their head

Initially it's rotating counter clockwise.. until I started reading the comments, then I can switch between the two. If not trying to, it goes counter clockwise...

^ Ha - spot-on Ansen,Clap I completely missed the fact the image is back-lit (kind of shoots down the theory that right-brained people would see the image rotating clockwise - artisiticly inclined people should interpret the light-direction and shadow angles correctly, so see the image rotating anticlockwise)
 
What?

My head hurts.  I voted counter-clockwise, but now that I look at it she seems to go both ways.

Sorry - I didn't fully explain how my second image was different - I reversed the animation so it rotates in the opposite direction.


yeah I got that, shadows are still different in Doc's images regardless of what direction she is - or is perceived to be - going in

Damn.  Here I was going to tell him that I had special magical powers able to reverse the animation of the shadows.  Cry
 
Anyway, I see it both ways.  Sometimes she spins clockwise, then I look away for a bit, come back and she's spinning counter-clockwise, then I look away, come back and she's doing handstands.  Anyone else notice the handstands? Confused
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

^ I doubt there's any correlation between the image and being left or right brained.
