But what do I know ,I'm just finding my feet in photography as well
An interesting subject, but neither shot works for me I'm afraid.
The first one definitely has focus issues, the leaf at the top seems most in focus, and unfortunately that leaf has holes in it which aren't too pleasing to the eye.
The second shot also has a bug-eaten leaf which is a shame, and it looks as though in the gap in the middle of the berries, there should be another berry or two?
The dark background is a bit distracting, I guess they were taken at night? I would try to take the photos again in daylight, when a flash may not be necessary, and if possible a closer shot of the actual berries and less foliage. Obviously this depends on what lenses you have.
A good effort. I always find that if you walk around the plant you can see the best composition before taking any photos - this way you might be able to find a bigger bunch of berries or leaves that haven't been eaten yet!
I hope you find my comments helpful.

Higher numbers equal greater depth of field.
