This one keeps growing on me. I think your liquid gold makes me think of ink, and the high contrast therein makes me think of calligraphy on top of what could be yellowed parchment. Nice!
The way you set this up and lit it is just wonderful. If you could have killed the ambient light all the way you could probably have avoided the tiny bit of blur at the top, but this is not noticable unless you really look for it!
