I think there should be a huge shadow of the Moon visable on Earth.

The moons orbit is inclined 5 deg to the plane of the earth orbit around the sun Only 2-3 times a year is the moon in the right place These times are called ECLIPSES

One of the times was caught and photographed from the ISS during a total eclipse in 2017

Here is a DSCOVR image of the August 17, 2017 eclipse. I was standing in the shadow at the time this was taken.

Stick to the topic, this forum isn't about making things personal.

IMHO this is the realest thing in the photo. When something is moving, it will cause color shift, sort of tracers. The slight blue shift on the left side of the moon, and the green on the right would indicate it is moving right to left, slightly toward the camera.

The rest of it looks fake to me though.

The biggest problem is the flat lighting. Where's the chiaroscuro, the change in light to shadow as it curves, if it's a globe?

Look along the Eastern limb, you can see that it gets darker. You can also see (in the Caribbean) the long shadow cast by a large cloud. Follow the other images in the sequence and you can see the Earth rotate. Because it's a globe.
