I watched a guy do this to one of my trees that was leaning toward a shed. I would not try it myself, but here goes.
He cut a notch out of the tree to make himself a wedge. I'm thinking a piece of 2x4 would work for this, as it was about 4" thick at the thickest part. On your tree, he would notch it on the side facing the camera, to make a hinge so it would fall toward the camera. He would cut the notch, backcut the tree, and when it starts falling and the center of gravity changes, he would jam the wedge into the left side of the notch. When the tree hit the wedge it had a momentary WTF? hesitation, then fell a few degrees away from perpendicular to the hinge.
