Au contraire, mon frère! The bike looks to be not too large at all, if anything maybe a little short in the top tube. Your arms would be more relaxed if you bent more at the hips. If you want to ride that upright, you may have the wrong type of bike. Try bending more at the elbows and see where that takes your bend at the waist/hips. There is nothing at all dangerous about your position.
