Indeed a stunning, and very different view of one of our favorite targets! I would agree this could be a globular cluster in the making, Given the size of the stars in the field of view, and their relatively close proximity to each other, the gravity involved could indeed tie them into a globular in the future.. Of course, given the type of stars we're looking at, by the time gravity does its thing and brings them together, I dare say a few of them will have hit critical mass and blown the others away... Definitely an interesting area of space to watch for the next few million years..
