I would classify this picture as " Close but no Cigar". Photographing small berries is a tough thing to accomplish, as in your case there isn't really a strong pod of berries that would capture ones eye. There is that one leaf just blocking the pod of berries which is somewhat distracting. The contrasty lighting, while working in the background, is causing harsh bright spots and blowout areas on some leaves.

The more I look at it, the more I agree, thanks Joel

Greybeard, here's a idea that I do use when I'm just not sure. I use Live View as the 3 inch screen helps to see the whole picture. Then use Preview after you take the picture and really study it critically. You'll be surprised at just how much you see. And then you'll be able to make the appropriate adjustments and reshoot.
