1. Compositionally it's challenging to figure out just what you were intending to photograph. Too much or too little is in the frame.
2. Technically this is not very sharp, which makes me ask: at 1/60, did you use a tripod? It's very much necessary most of the time for closeups ("macro" refers to 1:1) at anything under 1/500.
3. There is also a lot of glare spots on just about each berry or fruit. While glare is not absolutely the enemy of closeup shots, it has to be managed artfully. Sometimes something like a polarizer filter can help tame it. Highly bright direct sun, especially middle-of-the-day sun is not the best time for closeups of many natural materials.

Closeup and macro shooting takes a lot of practice to get decent at, but this is a very achievable goal. Just keep at it regularly and be your own harshest critic. You'll get there just fine.
