The fit looks fine. (90 degree arm/torso angle is what you are shooting for regardless of upright or aero.) Now just some fine-tuning.
You might find this book helpful: Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists. It has a lot of fit tips.

Another short rider here. I am 4"11 and it isn't easy finding a bike that really fits.
The first three bikes I bought ,while they fit pretty good were never fitted by anyone at the bike shop other they "yeah that looks about right". The last two bike's I bought the guys really worked with me and found me the bike that really fit ,the differance is amazing. These bikes really click .
It's a brand to brand thing and finding a bike shop that really knows what they are doing and are willing to help you untill it's right is key , (not just wanting to sell you a bike.)
I am riding a, Trek Lush SL WSD in a size 14 1/2
And a Trek Madone 3.1 WSD 47 CM.
Nothing wrong with my last two specialized bikes but the fit just wasn't dialed in like these last two are .
It still amazes me how different the same size bike from different companys will fit.
Good luck and keep working till it feel right.
