Lensing or no?

    First - the galaxy in the center begs to be shared with you all. Second - are the 2 very bright objects on the left and the right a lensed galaxy? I categorized it as lensed.

    thanks. when I clicked on the link, theh image was very clear that there was no lensing. But in the image I had from the classiications, it wasn't that clear. My next question, are those 2 objects on either side galaxies with AGN?

    The bright bluish, white objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy, so definitely no lensing, sorry !!
