is that a type of woodpecker?
Kevin - thank you for that question. It shows me, i made a "wonderbird". So i went back to the bench and reworked it. Here is the result - please tell me, what kind of bird do you see in it now. Of course i hope, i did it better.

By the way - here is something i noticed (you have to look at the close up picture for this):
usually a goldsmith use a brass-brush after blackening Silver with sulfur - i did it also on this piece. In this case it has a bad effect - i lost a lot of details, they are simply gone away by using the brass-brush. So my conclusion is: never use it again when cutting Silver.
Anyone here, who has the same experience?

At last, i have played with the aperture and i think, the picture came out better. Thanks for the good advice.
