    Geez, Photobucket isn't what it used to be. Switched to Shutterfly.

    Sorry, I don't see any gravitational lensing. Can you describe where it is?

    I noticed a couple of features on the original image, Budgieye, but nothing shows up on the Skyserver image. So yes, it is a false alarm.

    The image we are supposed to classify is a GAMA image which has a higher resolution than SDSS. I definately see two round blue patches next to the galaxy at 1:00 and 5:00. They could be distant galaxies in overlap with the central galaxy. I think I can discern a slight blueish shadow at 1:00 in the SDSS image as well.
