I've always thought skunks were cute. There's one that hangs around the house but I wouldn't consider him a pet. I like your animal collection Shecoya :)

Please keep in mind I'm not a trained professional ...

Composition
I like the formation, too bad the trailing jet isn't a tad higher but you have very little control over that. I agree with the others who've stated more pixels are needed on the right, I think less magnification and a near-pano crop may have been the ticket for this orientation of the jets.

Technical / Post Processing
My feeling is that you pushed the limits of your lens and did what you could PP to bring out the planes. I may be wrong, only you know, but that is the feeling I get looking at the photo. The overall color is off (as others have mentioned). Some selective color editing would really make this photo pop - give the sky a bluer blue, the yellows less orange. The halo is distracting, cloning that out would have helped.

Aesthetics
I do not find the photo aesthetically displeasing, however I find it lacks a pop.

Relevance to Challenge
I find the Blue Angels to be relevant to the challenge. They might have been a much better fit and more widely accepted in the recent "Pride" challenge.

Overall
Overall I think this is a nice photo that could have scored much higher had you employed a different crop and did some selective color editing.

I always enjoy seeing your photos and you have quite the excellent portfolio, I look forward to seeing your future work.
