Head Angle Police (HAP) Tutorial?

[Fabs Forns]

Excellent thread, Richard. Thanks for bringing it up!

I think I also have a good example for this case. The two shots were just made a few seconds after each other.
I have to agree with Artie that the right head turn is one of the most important things in bird photography....I have so many fantastic shots, where everything looked perfect in the field and at home you see.....d.... the bird is looking slightly away.
It makes such a big difference if you "feel" the eye contact or if you see a bird looking somewhere else.

First shot, nice Bg everything, BUT.....
She's looking away

and here a few seconds later, she gave me the head turn needed.... :)
