Only if I start  by looking at the big toe of the grounded foot   and work my way up , but not from sighting the whole image .  ... after some practice I can do it with the extended leg .

What is default rotation direction for you?  Mine is clockwise. If i turn my head away from screen to the right (about 45 degrees) and look at picture from that position, after 10-15 seconds  i can see it rotating counterclockwise.

If i remember correctly from the site i downloaded it, it said that some people can see change of direction every half (or maybe full) circle.

[Nungali]

I will go back and check .... 

 

first glance ; clockwise .

 

I can get her lower half to oscillate  left and right ( each half turn ) but as I work my way up I loose it .   Maybe with practice ?

 

... and if I had the time .... actually , what the hell AM I wasting time on this for anyway    

 

 

Interesting in that  it is actually  a  flat  2 dimensional shape that is constantly changing (  that is ,   what is actually  being shown on my pc screen ,
