I am 5'7 and I am going for something similar to what you display.
I have a decent build, but I am at about 17-18% body fat, so I'm not quite there in terms of that ripped look. I weigh 150, and am currently cutting, trying to get to about 140 and then I can try to put some more mass without adding the fat.
Being a smaller guy.. do you find it takes more time to put on muscle mass? I'm 19 and have been training for 3-4 years, although I didn't start increasing the quality of my training until the past year or so. I am just about squatting 1.5x my body weight and deadlifing 2x my body weight at the moment, so I have developed strength, but not as much muscle.
It seems like adding muscle is really slow for me. Nobody believes me when I tell them I've deadlifted 300 for 4 reps, or that I can squat 225 for 5 reps.
Do you find the same applying to you?
