I agree, that's a good looking pinhole image. Everything equally in or 
out of focus, depending on viewpoint, soft tonal graduations.

There are two things going on in this image that have nothing to do with 
the pinhole. There is a lot of big grain. Not too bad elsewhere, but It 
seems too much in the sky to me, overwhelming the smooth pinhole look.

Also, the histogram is quite unbalanced, with no pixels above about 215. 
Tame the grain and stretch the histogram to get some true highlights and 
it seems to me to be a really nice pinhole image.

Andrew had trouble with a Holgamods pinhole on his 5D, but this looks 
fine on film.
