    You've got a funny definition of Plausible here! It definitely isn't a lens. Sorry.

    The red thing is a star. The red is not centred in the middle of the 'arc'. The 'arc' has a color gradient across it (needs to be all one color if it's a lensed source). Your lens model doesn't predict the arc's shape and size seen in the real image. There is no counter image where predicted.

    Sorry to be so negative, but we need to be calling this a 'definitely not'.

    Edit: I see you've updated your original post - much better wording now!
