John, This is nicely done and I have no doubt that you captured a strong likeness of your Dad. However, two areas draw my attention... the first is that his hairline seems to be at an angle that has no relation to the angle of his head/face. The second is the sleeve on his near arm, looks like maybe you started into the detail of it, then got distracted or lost interest and didn't quite finish it? There're a lot of sharply (and maybe too uniformly) delineated wrinkles on his upper arm, while below the elbow very little and sort of fuzzy... just doesn't read as well as the rest of the piece...
