Hi Sanjeev, not sure about shy, looks more like he's dreaming, gazing into the distance. 
The fur looks a little wet in parts, any reasons for that? I might ease off on the contrast, the blacks do look quite strong to me, ditto dropping the red and the exposure a bit in the lighter top BKG area does help I feel. The sharpening looks better now, but overall the image looks a little gritty for ISO400, have you lightened it at all? Overall a nice, safe portrait.

Steve, I did lighten the image a bit. Not sure about the wet look. Maybe the pride had a drink by the stream next to where they were lazing.
Ken, the RP you posted is more punchier and looks good.
thanks a lot.

Sanjeev
