In the Sunlight... (natural colors; credits: NASA)
Caption NASA:"Saturn's icy Rings shine in scattered sunlight in this view, which looks toward the unilluminated northern side of the Rings from about 15° above the Ring-Plane. The Sun currently illuminates the Rings from the South. Some of the sunlight not reflected from the Rings' southern face is scattered through the countless particles, setting the Rings aglow. The inner F-Ring shepherd moon Prometheus (86 Km, or about 53 miles across at its widest point) appears at lower left. 

Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. Bright clumps of material in the narrow F-Ring moved in their orbits between each of the color exposures, creating a chromatic misalignment in several places that provides some sense of the continuous motion within the Ring System. 
The images were obtained with the Spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 4, 2008 at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 770.000 miles) from Saturn. The Phase Angle was 28°.

Image scale is roughly 70 Km per pixel".
