Anyone help to identify features please?

by Mjtbarrett

There are two circular features on the right hand side of this galaxy, one more pronounced than the other. I havent seen them before and wondered if anyone could identify them for me. There's also a greenish purple colour to the whole image, and the features are largely purple...
