Oppose makes me dizzy Tomer T 15:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that a valid reason? --The High Fin Sperm Whale 04:25, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Makes me dizzy -> I don't like it. Tomer T (talk) 08:46, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - That is not a valid reason to oppose to at FPC. --Jovian Eye _talk 03:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support after reading the article. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 16:44, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - neat. For anyone else who hadn't seen this before, read the article. Very interesting effect. Jonathunder (talk) 22:15, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per previous nom. W.S. 22:44, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Don't care that it lost last time and it logically might make some people dizzy. Doesn't stop it being an interesting effect. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 01:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose --Yikrazuul (talk) 10:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Technically flawless, very high encyclopedic value, done in an aesthetically pleasing way (compared to other optical illusions). Great visualization of an optical effect in an artistic way. Looks like the perfect FP for an encyclopedia to me. --Nikopol (talk) 12:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unphysiological movement --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's the purpose of the animation to be "physiological" - Benh (talk) 16:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

* Left foot does not rise on the vertical axis --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great case of illusion... Significantly to be a FP! --Llorenzi (talk) 11:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unrealistic (how can one jump with keeping foot/leg in this position? and if it does not show the movement, what's the purpose?) --Coyau (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The purpose is the optical illusion not a movement. Take a look at The Spinning Dancer. --Lošmi (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Lošmi (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The occasional reflection of the upraised foot works against the illusion for me (i.e. it gives exactly the sort of depth cue that indicates one direction of rotation). The image is also quite small, even for an animation, . --Avenue (talk) 13:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The animation might not work for everyone in an instant because it is an optical illusion. Reading The Spinning Dancer can help in one experiencing this effect. Additionally, this animation is sufficiently large. Commons has animated FP's which are much smaller like File:Frontal lobe animation.gif, File:Radial engine.gif and File:Zipper animated.gif. --Jovian Eye _talk 15:01, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - My point wasn't about how easy or difficult it might be for me personally to see the illusion. It was that the illusion (which according to the article relies on the absence of depth cues) would be stronger without the depth cue given by the reflection of the raised foot. Since I think the animation could easily be significantly improved, I don't see this version as an FP. --Avenue (talk) 09:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great animation. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support After reading the article I was to oppose because I did'nt see anything special as optical illusion, but... It works now! it works! A miracle ! The young lady is really going ccw, now !--Jebulon (talk) 22:26, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, the true wow of this animation is felt when one experiences the optical illusion! --Jovian Eye _talk 23:02, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
