How did you "convert" it? Did you simply drill a pinhole in a lens cap?
Your sample looks like the pinhole material may be too thick, in relation to the size of the pinhole. I've done pinhole lens caps with say a 5mm hole in the lens cap, then covered that hole with common aluminum foil and drilled the actual pinhole in that. Common foil is about 6.5um thick, and works pretty well with a 300um pinhole, which is about optimal for a 43mm focal length.
I bought the pinhole lens cap on ebay.
Here is a link to the item:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/304552221876
According to the item's description the pinhole size is 0.3mm.
There is a way to enhance the images produced with a lenscap pinhole like the one I mentioned. This assumes that you are using it to photograph someone's portrait. I shot the first image with a Nikon D7100 using a lens cap with a pinhole in it. I then enhanced it using the Remini online image enhancer, as shown in the second image. The online image enhancer is free to use if you are willing to watch two 30 second ads.

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is finally here! Chris has opinions.
The Canon EOS R8 is the company's latest mid-level full-frame mirrorless camera. It brings the sensor and autofocus from the EOS R6 II and combines them in a smaller, more affordable body.
The Canon EOS R50 is an entry-level, company APS-C mirrorless camera. A 24MP RF-mount camera aiming to attract smartphone users and, perhaps, vloggers.
See what Chris and Jordan think of the Canon EOS R8 after shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Canon EOS R50 is inexpensive. It's tiny. Is it good? Jordan and Chris dodged alligators in South Carolina to find out.
