Consider the cinemagraph a higher form of animated GIF. We see looped animations, but they live on in a more calming manner than a jarring repetition.
Generally more refined in nature, the subtlety of the motion brings scenes alive in a breathful, elegant manner.
We love the way the blurred, bokeh background comes into focus through the lenses of prescription glasses.
