In-Universe:
View of the U.S.S. Defiant from underneath and far away while docked at Deep Space Nine on the outer ring.
Production:
I believe this is the same CGI model created by VisionArt that was used for the other docked scene with a view of the Defiant from above.
"The Docking Shots shown here are all CG as well (except for the station). This CG model was built and rendered in Prisms by myself and Carl Hooper; we also jointly created the materials, lighting and animation."
