G'day Greg,
ngc 2903 is about as distinctive and unusual as a relatively normal spiral galaxy gets. The dust distribution is very chaotic and heavy, yet there is an underlying symmetry to this galaxy. There is actually a long and strong bar in this galaxy, but it is nearly hidden by the masses of dust clouds!! This is also one of my favourites, as it combines the "pretty galaxy" look with a distribution of dust that puts it either just within the bounds of normality or perhaps in the category of "a bit peculiar"
I attach a positive and a negative image of this galaxy.
