Hi Maureen- I like how you have positioned your subject on the page! I enlarged the image and the berries are beautifully done! It is a challenge to do highlights on dark or saturated colors. Especially when the subject is quite small as these berries.
Those stripey berries are tough to show light source, especially when the darker parts are on the lighter part of the form. Again, I think you are getting it. I can feel the form. You are doing what I would suggest, it to just exaggerate those major highlights a bit, and make sure to get dark on the lower right. Nice job. And the composition is beautiful.
I did this on location. It is a challenge to express value when some of the darkly colored parts of the berries are on the light part of the form.

Thank you, @doug-milne!
