You cant see the plate, the baseline or where either of the players are in relationship to it. For all we know from that picture the catcher could be 2' in front of the plate toward the pitcher, and if that is the case there is no way its obstruction. I would bet the catcher is most likely standing on top of the plate, but from that picture there is absolutely no way of knowing.
