Hi elsie22 and welcome to the Zoo !
This is a disturbed spiral galaxy with a dominant bulge for me. No lensing here whatsoever !
Happy hunting ! 😄

The small blob to the right is probably a foregound star from our galaxy. And the two other objects to the right look like they are two galaxies interacting. And, so sorry , but no idea what has caused the disruption to the central galaxy. Sometimes the answer to a question is : I don't know !;D
Happy hunting ! 😄
