The visibility features of atmosphere such as it reveals small, bright and puffy clouds with long filamentary streamers that are reminiscent of the anvil-shaped Earthly cirrus clouds that extend downwind of thunderstorms. Dark ring shadows hang over the scene while the planet rotates beneath.

That means that the rings are semi-transparent so Cassini spacecraft is able to see the atmosphere features thru the rings.

Tried to improve clouds visibility of this amazing image in both illuminated and shadowed portions (latter is negative due to solarization):

Moreover, I enhanced the shadowed clouds in order to make more evident their 3-dimensional structure...
