Minor nit is that I'm not too sure about the perch being quite right "environmentally" for a Siskin and it slightly overpowers the subject, but its much better than any Siskin shot I've got!

My condolences Nick. I hope you have been left with happy memories of your father's life.
Photography helped me when my wife died ten years ago so I hope it will help you too.
A beautiful bird with a pose reminiscent of a nuthatch's. The subject isolated really well against a great Bg.
