Either I'm so thoroughly one-side-brained that I can't comprehend any other perspective, or we're all simply getting confused over semantics. I see the woman turning to her right. Does anyone see otherwise? Whether you call that clockwise or counter-clockwise just depends upon whether you define the ceiling or the floor as the point of reference.

Yes, you should be able to get it to spin the other way. Usually for something like this to determine clockwise or counter-clockwise you imagine a clock superimposed over the image from above, with the observer looking down at the image and clock. Turning to her right would be clockwise.
Nope, just can't see it. Maybe it's related to my inability to see stereograms.
I too had trouble and it took me like 20 minutes, but I paid close attention to the middle foot shadow and tried to imagine the tip of the foot going in the direction I wanted.
After that I pretty much realized I can control reality with my perception! (Heavy right-brainer here, apparently...)
