I didn't notice the Seal jumping while shooting. I discovered him in the editing. Not only lucky for me but lucky for the little guy in the water as those yachts sail around on giant carbon fibre machetes. Also this photo was published on the cover of the New Zealand Herald Newspaper and won New Zealand Sports Photo of the year for 2017 Canon Media Awards. So that was lucky.
