I would tend to disagree, I think it's an extremely difficult shot. However, the published photo doesn't make sense. In the published photo, they are still both travelling in the wrong direction. Initially, I thought that maybe he had the camera in portrait mode, but it still doesn't make sense. There are only two directions the ISS could have been travelling in the photo. Heading approx. 7 o'clock, or heading approx. 10 o'clock. So, the only explanation I can think of is that he deliberately tilted the camera in order to try and achieve the perfect media shot, but then the image was rotated afterwards.

Even mirrored, it still doesn't make sense.
