Pastels aren't my medium either, but I would think you could make adjustments by using soft pastels. The pastel artists I know seem to work hard to soft, as oil painters work lean to fat. And I wouldn't ditch the painting; it's really nice and you've got so many interesting elements in it that I think it's a keeper.
