Cataract

Note the straight blue on the left appears to be a companion and possible round blue on the right is a smaller companion of the larger lens galaxy.

I looked at this object in closer detail a few hours ago - I do not think there is any lensing involved.

Personally I think it is a rather complicated merger with star formation. Perhaps a overlap is also involved.

Perhaps a distortion of the #lens galaxy by a companion or two!

I'd go for merger and a couple of foreground stars. Looks great though ! 😄
