Clockwise?

This is the strangest optical illusion trick I have ever seen: The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

I can make the dancer flip back and forth, though not quite at will. What I can do is keep her spinning in the same direction however long I want- I haven’t quite figured out what I do different when I get her to change directions.

Since links are tricky things, I’m hosting the picture here:

Jake takes some cool pictures, take a look at jasonengelund.com. There are some aquarium triptychs on his site that I really like. Here’s one he just took in the Sierra Buttes (click the scaled image for a much larger version):
