Firstly introduced by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg who described in cinemagraph.com: “an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly.”
It looks like a movie file but it’s a .gif still image where some parts of the image are moving smoothly. Since it was introduced, lots of photographers created this style, even amateur photographers can do it, here are mostly their first attempts at Cinemagraph:

Faking Tilt Shift
Since The first time I saw this type of photography, I fell in love with the way how cameras or lenses can make things look like miniatures.

Then I searched tutorials for Fake Tilt Shift for GIMP, as I’m a Gimper and there are some Tilt Shift Generators as well that make it super easy to do. Here are the results :
