A number of corrections further and some thoughts more.

I have reduced the thickness exaggeration of the ring to 100m instead of 
10m or less in reality. This is as far as I can go without breaking up 
the render, in particular the media. Accordingly, I have reduced the 
sizes of individual ring particles. Saturn reflects on the shadow sides 
of the particles.

The A ring is there beyond the Cassini division (not filled in yet) but 
is invisible as it is seen on the edge which is also in the shadow.

I am still not sure yet how I am going to fill-in the complex 
"propeller" features reaching up to 2.5 to 3km above the ring surface. I 
have more of those to build as patches towards the rim, and then we'll see.

Altitude of the camera: 5km above the ring.
