no, it's a visual trick. if you click hard enough on the picture, it'll start spinning the other way around.

To all the people that thought they were cool because they voted for the option without any text have now confessed to smelling bad. Haha, jokes on you losers.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Not seen this before but it is about the same in both directions. The stereo pair is weird especially when each are spinning in different directions.
 
Nice one.

I have a slight confession to make...Embarrassed
 
The two images in the stereo pair are not the same, the first one is spinning anticlockwise:
 
 
...of course this anticlockwise image can give the illusion of spinning clockwise (easier if you obscure the shadow)
What?

Only clockwise for me. But I don't think I'm mainly a right-brain type.

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

strange thing about the 5 images Doc posted is that the shadow is different than in all the other images posted--  here the shadow of her extended foot arcs from right to left across the bottom, but in the others the foot shadow arcs from left to right
