Yes they do if you look down. The rocks were under the feet of the photographer, not hanging out in front of him. So if you want to see the rocks you have to point your camera down.
As for size of the image, this is magically irrelevant. The environment sphere includes everything in the universe in all directions from one viewpoint. It does not matter how much resolution this image has, except to reveal more or less detail. The fact remains that regardless of image pixel density, it includes everything 360 degrees.
Getting a bigger or smaller version won't change how much you can see in a render. The only thing that affects how much of the image "fits" into your scene is going to be your camera focal length, just like real life.
When you use your camera, and you shoot a portrait of a friend, you cannot see what is above you, behind you, under you, etc. Those are all not visible no matter what the focal length is, unless you go to a fish-eye lens. Your Poser camera works just like a real one. Decrease the focal length, and you increase your field of view to include larger slice of the 360 degree pie.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
