Mmmmmm... from the picture, and not seeing you on the bike, your bars are very high.
I'd go so far as to say that if those bars are too low, the frame is too small for you. I really hope that isn't the case, since I know the effort you went to in getting something the right size.
It's actually possible that the bars are too high. I wish I could give credit where credit is due... but I don't remember who it was. Someone just gave a really excellent illustration of this... Get on your hands and knees and feel how much weight is in your hands and shoulders. Now, shift your butt back towards your heels and feel how much less weight is in your hands, even as the horizontal distance between your hands and your butt gets longer. There are postures where it's very difficult for your core to take the weight, and postures where it's easy. One of the objects of fitting is to find where that's easy.
