Most of your realization is quite tasteful and pretty.

In mm. 10-11, there are parallel octaves (G-F) between the bass and the alto; in m. 11, there's an unprepared 6 4 chord on the 2nd beat.

In mm. 13-15, the harmonies do not correspond to the figuring, as there should be a 6 chord on every 2nd beat (you have 6 4 chords instead). Also, in mm. 14-15, on the 1st beat, you approach the 9th interval with the lower voice moving down a step.

Are you sure about the G in the bass in measure 16? It sounds strange. Isn't that an A in the original exercise?

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Is this better? I just didn’t know how to approach the 9ths.

I don't think this fugue was meant to be strictly in four voices. It's nigh impossible to realize measures 13–15 in four parts with the given figures without resorting to playing around with the arrangement of the voices in order to conceal bad parallels. (Had Händel written out 7   43 instead of 7   6, it'd be much more feasible.) I'd suggest you try to realize this exercise using only three voices.
