You have to ask yourself what you're working with. You have some red leaves, fence, some dark blue berries, and pleasing white and yellow background. Colours are nice, they go well together, but it's all a bit too much. You need to curb down the clutter. So either berries or leaves, or possibly both, but leave out the fence. Then comes focusing, framing and selecting aperture. You went for leaves and berries, but you could as well go for background and have leaves blurred in the foreground as framing device. It's impossible to say from here what you had, but it was an option. Since you went for foreground, you need to have it more defined. Find patterns in the clutter. Three leaves, few berries, then make sure that those are all in focus, and you can then play with background. With that you've a pleasing composition that's fun to play with in post.
