  Vanevan...NOOBIE. Looks like galaxy viewed side on. Cant tell if 2 bright objects left of galaxy are near it or much closer to us. Also note other red objects on right lower corner.....SE.

  Hello and welcome @Vanevan 😃

  Only classify the object directly at the center, in this case it is a barred spiral galaxy - viewed face on. The other objects close to the galaxy are foreground stars - so you are right they are a lot closer to us than the galaxy 😃

  We also have a bit of background noise in the image.

  Hope this helps and happy hunting!

  Capella.
