The story is told by how much higher the toptube line is than the top of the tires. Also the length of the headtube.
It's great you found a frame to fit you; many tall dudes like yourself would have settled for (or been steered towards!) a smaller frame such that they need a mile of seat tube, and the stem pointed way up instead of mostly forward, like you have it.
