This is apparently from underneath and I can't make out the rudder sticking up. I've created a page with this and other stills. I'll try to create some short mpeg clips, too.
This video has been played on Fox numerous times. This image folks here are saying is a view the the rear of the Shuttle is JUST AN OUT OF FOCUS IMAGE!! In the video, the cameraman focuses his camera, and this bloated image collapses to a pinpoint of light as it should be!!! Jezzz, come on people. No handheld instrument could take such a highly magnified image of the Shuttle.

If you watch the mpg film
here you can easily see the camera clearly brings the image in focus. You can also see what is most likely the verticle stablizer tumbling away from the shuttle at the lower right! The shuttle is sideways to the slip stream, L side leading. This fits with the telemetry. Look for the spinning object. It's the tail!
