What's wrong with the picture, and how does it get by the Dept of the Interior approval process?

What's the ridge jutting out behind El Capitan?
IS that water from the right-most waterfall flowing across the Valley then uphill?
The spires in the back just below Half Dome?
There really is no 'valley' in the picture? (Yosemite is a flat-bottom 'U' shaped glacier valley, not a water carved 'V' valley)

The ridge behind El Cap is supposed to be Three Brothers. There are some pinnacles that might by Cathedral Spires poorly placed, too. But the biggest issue I had was the two watercourses on either side of Bridalveil Fall that simply don't exist.

I believe the NPS got a very special deal from Hamm's Beer and repurposed one their bar signs.
