Traditionally, a church of this nature (looks to be Roman style) would have a center aisle for the priestly procession (or, if you prefer, think of a wedding procession - the bride shouldn't have to walk towards the alter from a side aisle, should she?). The pews should extend from the center aisle all the way to the arched columns with the outer walkway (or aisle) in the shadows between the arched columns and the outer walls. I agree also that the pews would normally be closer together front to back (although I'd personally prefer more space as it's easier to get around people that way in real life).

The sectioned arches seem a bit odd to me (straight edges, not round), but that is simply a stylistic factor that I would prefer.

I love the look of this render. The lighting and shadows are excellent. The paper texture makes all the difference. Overall, a wonderful achievement.
