Looks like most of the terrain imaged in high-res yesterday was near the equator, which made a nice mosaic. Enceladus - Rev 223 Flyby by Justin Cowart, on Flickr I'm estimating the resolution of the mosaic on the left to be somewhere between 70-100 m/px, while the image of Dunyazad and Shahrazad is somewhere around 60 m/px. I lined up the images with the global map of Enceladus at bottom right, you should be able to see the image footprints in the full-resolution version. Cassini also got a nice mosaic of Enceladus lit up with Saturnshine on the way out: Enceladus - Rev 223 Departure by Justin Cowart, on Flickr

This is an experimental anaglyph of Enceladus' snowman craters. They were imaged by Cassini on October 14, 2015.

The elevation information (DEM) was generated using shape from shading (SFS) and isn't very accurate but this looks rather realistic anyway. The DEM could be made much more accurate if SFS could be combined with stereo but as far as I know no good stereo pairs of these craters exist.
