Cinemagraphs are a subset of .gif files that are high quality, smoothly looped, and just downright gorgeous.

A ton of outstandingly creative people have worked hard to create these pictures, and you can really tell based on how wonderful they look in motion.

We wanted to put a spotlight on some of these amazing works of art, so here's a look at some of the best original content from the sub.
