Assuming that the image is of the underside of the wing, the image shows the shuttle with its top facing earth and its belly facing space. The only thing that could take that picture would have been either a satellite or the ISS that was further out in space. If the image is of the top of the wing the same holds true, since there are no windows that could give this view. Is there information on where the image was taken from?

If I remember correctly, for the payload bay doors to be open the orbiter should be oriented in such a way that the "belly" would facing earth. Therefore I would tend to believe that this picture is BS
