thats really nice

That area is distracting and competing with your main subjects since it has the same range of values in a significant portion. It doesn't lead the eye to main focus but almost traps you there and leads you outside. Some thumbnails are in order to figure out a way to make it darker, maybe exploring a combination of moving where the trees end on that side and position of fire and how it shines on your characters. For example pushing that side of trees further back they'd catch less light. Imagine if it was near the back leg of the tiger, it could have some (subtler) warm light that would lead you to the focal point. Just cutting vertically up to the end of the part of the illuminated tree already feels more resolved.

push that grass back and consider making it darker, its up close and light enough that it can be a little distracting. But I think its not as bad as you see it. The high contrast areas are with the man and animal. these are the areas most people will look at first

It's a relatively large area of one of the higher values in the piece. There are no other areas with that bright/high in value anywhere near that size, which means it dominates what your eye wants to look at. In the cropped image that this website shows as a preview, you cannot see the tree at all, and the only bright areas are on your two subjects. There is nothing competing for your attention. In the full image you have brightly lit man, tiger and then... big tree. In the rest of the piece you have set up the understanding that the relevant action is lit by the fire light. It is natural that you would then keep looking to the largest area covered in that light - you are anticipating it being important. Try reducing how bright and how much that single tree contrasts with all of your other background/framing foliage. You can either light it differently - much weaker - or make the tree smaller/further to the edge of the image so less of it is present in the scene.

I would say paint it a little more darker, i think that will help.
