You must have the whole puzzle, including distance and angle to make a call. If you cant see the whole play, you are missing a puzzle piece. Since this was apparently tag play, and pretty obvious... luckily for the umpire was an easy no brainer call.

Speaking of having the "whole puzzle," I agree that at this point the umpire is probably closer than 6-8 feet in this pic. However, you can also tell it is a sell safe call, which makes me think she has taken a large step forward, which would mean that at the time she actually made the call she was at the perfect depth.
