Thanks all - I was stoked at the results too - it helps to have a nice model to work with!
There was some thought & experience went into what area to go to take these & what time of day for lighting.
It is Canon S2IS 5MP Digital & I was using the aperture priority mode with various metering options - these are some of the 90 odd shots I took.
They are not altered AT ALL other than just a simple windows resize.

A digital SLR would be even better ...
