Beautiful capture. I think I might actually prefer it as a still shot as the motion seems kind of distracting and not organic to me but I see lots of others like the movement so, as always, different stokes...
I was worried at first that my computer screen was about to malfunction! The gif is clever, but like @gardencat I think I prefer the still shot. (But then I am someone that gets annoyed by gifs in social media) It is certainly a most lovely image.
