Striking clouds indeed and the whole scene translates well into monochrome.

Although you have used a larger aperture of F/3.2, you were unable to get the desired result in DOF.

Thanks!
I was surprised by mrbig65s comment. It is not that common to see one of these driving around in the US.
The grain was purposeful, though I may have overdone it a bit :)
It was taken on a Canon G10 which has a small built in zoom lens so I wasn't expecting a very shallow DOF.
