Yes, if you are interfering with the play, you're way too close. It was Carl Childress who said you should get your nose in there on tag plays, but I'm sure he didn't mean between the fielder and the runner!
The guy in the photo is on the grass outside of the cut. That is plenty enough far from the play. He's just fine.
