Right. I looked over this work - and it's pretty good for the most part. You have several instances of parallel fifths - which for most period music is a HUGE no-no - and you've begun the bass line on the 4th scale degree, when in species counterpoint, you only ever start on the 1st when writing lower counterpoint. There are some places where you leap one direction, and then leap another, which is not stylistically correct. You also have repeated a pitch in adjacent bars - which is not exactly kosher either.
But your counterpoint's pretty strong for all that. You've countered your parallel fifths by moving in opposite directions, or simply away from stepwise motion to generate contrast, which is nifty. And I'm not one to really care about stylistic conventions. If you ever take a theory class, I'll let THEM worry about that stuff.
