There are three sets: Lissa, Souveche and Monk. What took me so long to post them is the watermark I had been using was broken by Adobe's CS4 release of PhotoShop, and it took some time to figure out the best way to make a new one. Tonight I mashed together three tutorials, none of whom really got it right, and found a way to make a transparent watermark. Once that was installed all I had to do was run batch routines for each of the models, and use the handy Flickr uploader tool.

I didn't get many shots of Monk because his makeup was a rush job (he showed up way late), and he kept blinking.

These are fascinating

The lettering for your name on the photo is perfect. It doesn't detract from the [gorgeous] picture and is positioned well.

Thanks - that was the effect I was going for. Placement doesn't matter so much with the transparent watermark. Turned out to be dead easy in Photoshop CS4, but it took an hour to realize that what used to need tweaking on several different screens was now all in one dialog box. And one of the tutorials showed a fatally incorrect setting which a different tutorial corrected in a "and here's another way you can do this" addendum.
