Question James: how do you create the frame around these photos? Both the line, and blurry version also. Thanks.

Let me suggest a different view of why you were not thrilled.
The scene was big and dramatic to you, but it is likely you are looking at a photo which is small. Big dramatic scenes need BIG Dramatic renderings to capture the effect. That is why in print this kind of wonderful photo would be rendered as a full page--or double page--in a book, or as a larger print in a gallery. I see it full screen on a 27" monitor and believe it is an exciting picture as presented.

I change the time and find it extremely important when I travel many time zones away.
As I process the photos when I return, that-date time stamp helps me connect my photo to my itinerary. When I go to publish the photos, weeks later, without the correct time stamp I could mix up Fogo Island with Brava Island that I visited on the same day. Sure you could do the math, + 9 hrs, to my home time on the photos and figure out which island the photo related too, but it is simpler to look at the correct time on the photo and understand that yes in the morning was Fogo and Brava was the afternoon.
This becomes even more important as I also shoot a few photos with an iPhone, and combine them with my wife's DSLR photos and sort them in Lightroom--if the times are not consistent you might easily mix them up for location information and museum names and locations etc. Consistent times on all four cameras puts them together and leaves no doubt where and what is the picture subject.

I have had a D750 since they first came out. True, there was an early firmware fix (my camera had no problem before or after fix).
I use it with Nikon's 28 to 300 mm zoom, and couldn't be happier.

The squirrel can be improved in Lightroom (or something similar) by pulling back the exposure a touch, pulling back the highlights a little and filling with the shadows controls.
I don't know where I would start on the flower.

On a MAC you and also use Air Drop. It is on your finder menu.

Your complaints aside, the first photo by Jim-pops is to my taste the most exciting and vibrant.

It is not too heavy. I have used it for 2 years on D 750 as my only lens with great success and satisfaction.

The quick way to transfer between two MAC’s—including iPhones—is to use airdrop. It requires Bluetooth to be on for both machines and you find on the left in the (file) Finder. Tap (click) that and you see all the MAC devices. Tap the one you want to send to.

Most of my photos end up in glossy photo books (Blurb.com) of about 80 to 100 pages. Most are travel books ('Chile and Patagonia', 'Cornwall and North Wales' etc.) but a few are just Scrap Books of the year of travels and people and memories. I also print a few photos including art (like Christmas Cards) on a high quality Epson photo printer that I keep or give people.
As a result, the all of my photos reside on my computer and a lot of them end up in glossy 10" x 8" books (and the books are also online in the Blurb bookstore under rleonetti)
