Entry Thread - Mini Challenge #91 - Three Quarters

Good morning, friends and neighbours!
For this mini-challenge, I thought that something vaguely Viennese might be appropriate (having lived here for most of my adult life). So the theme is "Three Quarters". Be creative in your interpretation of the topic. It can span from waltzing to money to parts of town to 'not quite full' to ..... Just let us know in the title where the connection to the theme is.
Single image or composite. Just, of course, all your own image(s).

Mainly, have fun. I've added a couple of my images below (of no particular merit) to start your thinking.

I'd like this challenge to run through Monday, March 15th, 18:00 Central European Time. [The exercise of figuring out the time where you live is left as an exercise]

Jerry
===============================
OUR UN-OFFICIAL GENERAL RULES
1. Have fun sharing and seeing what others share!
2. The host supplies a topic and you post 1-3 images. The host judges the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and is not eligible to enter.
The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and then passes on the baton to the new champion.
3. Any photo you’ve taken is eligible, regardless of when taken or camera used.
4. Any amount of post-processing is allowed. However, it is helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
You may comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you some critique or criticism, just ask within your post.
5. The winner has up to three days (72 hours) to begin a new mini-challenge, or the honor goes to the #2 finisher and so forth.
Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, don't let this just be an entry thread!
6. Don't be hesitant, share'em and enter!

    Ok this is funny. I spent the day at a quilt show, and after much deliberation while I wandered aimlessly admiring the art, I decided on the title of a quilt I plan on making.-
    ---Life in Three-Quarter Time!!!

    Of course I have no photo yet.....
    But I think its a sign that my idea is a good one, thanks!

    How about a photo from your stash of fabrics being considered for Life in Three Quarter Time? clap.gif (fellow quilter here)

    1. To rteest42, would you mind sending me your email address? I have a question regarding quilting and hope you could give me a suggestion. Thankyou in advance.

    2. Does 3/4's of a brain qualify? Is there a site on dgrin where you can simulate posting pictures on a forum, doing a practise run to post a photo for a challenge? I have read the info and done poorly each time.

    Some great ones so far
    Some great pictures in the queue already, and just under two weeks to go. Keep that thinking hat on and finger near (or on) the shutter.

    I haven't seen a picture of a bottle of wine yet (usually 3/4 liter) or ....

    Cheers
