George W. Bush Signed Photo

Does anyone have an educated opinion about whether this George W. Bush photo is hand signed or autopen? Does it look like the stroke has some speed? The photo is from 2005 when Pres. Bush spoke to S.C. legislators. I have not been able to find a matching autopen in my database. Thanks!

Look ok to me. White House photographer image with printed inscription. Would you be interested in selling it?

It's not an autopen, and not a pre-print, looks good.

Thanks for your replies. Yes, it was a White House stamped photo taken by Paul Agnew. The photo was signed for Ted Pitts, who was a SC House member at the time. I don't want to sell at this time. I'd welcome any other specific comments on WHY this looks like an authentic hand-signed autograph, as opposed to autopen. I want to continue to learn more about how to tell the difference. Thanks.

He's shortened the GeorgeW (Ggw ?) over the years to what more looks like Gw, at least at his book signings, but the Bush is so alike to his last name at book signings of recent. I'll throw some pics down below...
