Ring or Lens?

I am still new here, and the site seems to have no tutorial mode. Is this a Lens or a Ring I am not sure, but it is a beautyfull galaxy.

What a weird ring. I would think that it is a #psuedoringed galaxy. We don't see these very often. The bright arcs are starforming areas in the spiral arms.
