  It looks too fuzzy to be a gravitational lens.

  I hope to get some news/ papers on ''The Cheshire cat" / OOTD Thurs
  19 2012 Lens "The Cheshire Cat": Hubble view I also processed after
  taking some interest on strong gravitational lensing systems.

  

  previous known lens recovered from Hubble data by an amateur

  find images in Hubble Legacy Archive http://hla.stsci.edu/
