It was taken around the time of the CSM separation maneuver. The separation maneuver was done over the landing site and it was a 2.7 fps radially downward SM RCS burn. The spacecrafts are in the right positions and right orientation for that in the picture.
Wow - I've seen that image before, but never in Hi-Res. It is just stunning.
