Long exposure - strange results?

I think this is simply a reflection built up over the duration of the exposure. As the water ripples pass the horizontal the reflection gets built up.
Lurking is shirking.!

The long exposure has turned the water surface into a virtual mirror, as Doug has indicated. So everything under the pier is now complicated by that mirror image.
I can't see any artefacts that the shot itself has introduced to the image?

it's probably me being dumb, but I can't see any ghosting in those examples?

Nor me, just natural reflections.it's probably me being dumb, but I can't see any ghosting in those examples?
Horizons are off by a fair bit though, a cheap hotshoe level works wonders as it's sometimes tricky to judge with strong perspective elements in the shot.

Thanks all for the explanations, makes me feel better that it's not human error on my behalf thoughton wrote:

With regards to a hotshoe level, silly question tme, how effective are they for hand held work?

However this time it was tripod and Cokin ND, experimenting time.
The longest exposure was 20 seconds, and on most, if not all, strange things appear under the structure of the pier.
Parts of some of the beams appear next to the actual beams, a ghost like appearance.
I apologise if this makes little sense, however they become apparent when you view some examples.
The first was taken at 6 seconds, the others at 20 seconds.
The self timer was used, therefore SR was automatically switched-off.
It was a completely calm evening, no wind at all. I take it that if there was any camera movement that the whole image would be affected?
I'm quite puzzled as to what has caused this.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Adran
