This is liable to be a bit freaky...
When i flipped this i wasn't sure why i prefered it. came up with this theory :-
in short, coz we read from left to right.
In the orig, chloes' left eye is closer but we have to read right to left to get to her right eye.
In the flip her, apparent, right eye is on the left and we move right to get to her apparent left eye. This to us left/right readers is more natural.
Might be talking out my arse mind.
