One of the most understood parts of OBS (especially by coaches, but some by umpires too) is that the mere act of being in the baseline without the ball is NOT obstruction... not by itself.
The act of being in the baseline without the ball must cause the runner to react in some way for this to be OBS.
On the play you describe, I have nothing as far as OBS / INT.
Also, as noted by WMB (and this is often called wrong too) --- the orange bag, for the fielder, is merely dirt unless the throw is coming from foul ground. Your F3 had both feet on dirt, and never touched 1st base. SAFE!!!
