how far away?

Can someone tell me how far away this galaxy is? It looks very distant.

I could only find a photoz for this galaxy of 0.336.

If it does have a redshift of ~0.34, it's a HUDS candidate! HUDS = HUmongous Distant Spiral; these kinds of objects I'm very interested in. So I Collected it.
With edge-on spirals, it's not so easy to judge whether photoz is reasonable, because dust lanes can mess the (in the image) colors, making them redder and so suggesting they have a higher z than they really do.
Thanks for asking your question, suelaine! 😃
