Lately I've been playing with Cinemagraphs - living photos which introduce a limited amount of movement into a still picture. Done well these can be very effective in bringing an extra dimension into a still image. (Like HDR, when overdone the results can be disastrous!)
I've been using Flixel Cinemagraph Pro, a tool designed specifically for creating Cinemagraphs, though there are several ways of making them including using Photoshop. Cinemagraph Pro makes it fairly easy. You start with a video clip, select the part of the clip to use, choose a still frame and create a mask to show where the motion in the video will show. (You can even export the still frame, edit in any image editor and reimport.)
As you can see from the example above I've been having fun playing around with Cinemagraphs, and will be exploring them further!
