Are you of the logic or artistic kind ?

I came across the following picture while browsing my feeds, and it really is impressive :

If you look at it, you should see a girl spinning in circle. The funny thing is that not everyone sees her spinning in the same direction. If you see her spinning clockwise, then you are of the logical kind, meaning the left part of your brain is the more active one. However if you see her spinning counter-clockwise, then you are of the artistical kind, meaning the right sight of your brain is the more active one.
I personally started seeing her spinning clockwise (ouf :-D) but then she started to change. Apparently depending upon when I see her head or her toes first (using the elevator on my browser), I see her spinning in different directions... Doc please tell me what this mean ;-). Is there really an artistical inner me, because I have been doubting that over the year :-D.
And you what do you see, and how do you feel about it ?

Wow, really impressive. I only can see her spinning ccw ; and it is very logical to me ;-))

Suprizingly enough, I finnaly manage to see her changin ways by looking only at the foot (scroll the page !) and then look at the complete image ...

Very funny though ! (altough I can't help but seeing a naked girl on the pic, which pretty much kills the logic in me)

To me, the upper part of the girl is spinning clockwise while the lower part is spinning counter-clockwise.

I explain it with the shade/reflect we can see on the ground that makes you think she's spinning ccw.

But I've not yet understood why my brain is saying the upper part is spinning clockwise...

Very interesting.

No matter how I look at her, she is OBVIOUSLY spinning counterclockwise :) Purely artistic...
