Is that with the seat post at its fullest extent? If it is as I said previously the bike is too small. When seated you leg should be more or less straight with the pedal at six o'clock (your pic 1). You can of course ride the bike as you have it but you won't be able to get the best power transfer and some complain of knee pain riding in that position long term. With a dropped top tube like that you should find it very easy to slide forward and plant your feet when coming to a halt.
The other consequence of having a frame too small is having the bars too close although that can be sorted with a longer stem if you're not comfortable with that.
