Does this look anything like an Einstein ring?

  Red galaxy at center 9 o'clock with blue swirl. Opinions?

  It is hard to know. They look fuzzy like galaxies. There are lots of distant blue galaxies in the image, These may be shining through the galaxy without actually being lensed into something with useful curves good for fitting mathematical curves. I'd mark it anyway.

  The blue images look more like arcs and points rather than an Einstein Ring.
