Could you say how you changed the lighting to produce the different bg colors? Very big noob here

I'm using a gelled flash for the background in the left and right shot, where I used the white side of a reflector as a background. In the left one I used a orange gel on the flash, and the flash is positioned low, and in the right one I used a green gel on the flash and the flash was positioned higher and to the left.

The middle photo has a different background, a gold reflector that I didn't put any extra light on.

The first one is excellent. I really like how the light falls on the duck and
that little glow on the reflector it just great. Little bit too high jpeg
compression I think as the shadows looks a bit weird. Other that that its
great shot

Thanks Vesa :) As I posted them quite small I guess Flickr's compression didn't do them well... here's maybe a better version:

You need to find another duck so this one won't be lonely!
