Just so you know, this is not a cinemagraph. A cinemagraph is not just a synonym for "high-quality animated gif". A cinemagraph isolates one moving part from an otherwise static picture (and the assumption is that at least some motion is frozen - ie, not everything that could be moving is moving).
It's kind of like spot-color[0], but for motion.
Lots of good examples: http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/ http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/
