I think so! Although, I don't think it's immediately obvious.

Lots of candidates (Qf10, Qf9, Qg4, Qg3, Qf7) but none seem to fully save ry.  Bg just seem to have way too many easy defensive resources. A couple lines:

1. Qf7 Ni7 Nhj10 Rxk1

1. Qf7 c10 Nij10 (1.y Nhj10 Rxk1) kxj10 

1. Qf10 c10 Nxk11 Rkxk11

1. Qg3 Nh4 Nhj10 Rxk1

1. Qf9 c10 Bxl8 7xl8 2. Nxk4 cxd11 

1. Qg4 Qh9

Personally, as ry the line I would go for is something like 1. Qf7 Ni7 d9 Rxk1 2. 0-0-0 and try to apply some pressure on blue as at least some compensation for the rook. Green is largely inactive and ry are pretty safe, so there are still some chances.

I guess I was too quick to make this puzzle.

I.... don't really see anything clearly winning for ry here. or anything that doesn't lose
