How curious. My hunch was that rotating it would get it to flip, but no luck. It keeps its convex appearance no matter what orientation it's in.

Of course there is a bias in our perception towards convexity, but this is quite stunning.

I've managed it but it keeps flipping back. I find concentrating on the blue in the centre helps, but I keep losing it.

Ah hah! I finally see that it's concave. I guess it's unusual to have such strong light coming from the right hand side. As a result, the shading on the top and bottom are very ambiguous, and it'll flip back if I concentrate on them too much.

Amazing, that's the same effect as in Gustavo's footprints. I see it even stronger here.

Thanks for sharing the illusion! :-)
