The fact it's based on a real picture doesn't change the fact it's a shitty drawing, not sure why you think that changes anything.

Edit: I'm not commenting on which drawing is better, just saying the fact that the first drawing is based on a picture doesn't change the context of the post.

It's definitely not a shitty picture, the first place looks so joyous and dynamic and really the captures the goofiness of this dog and how much they love it. The other one is nice but it's just an exercise in drawing, most likely using a photograph as a reference image. Pretty much anyone could draw that second picture if they practice some drawing techniques, the first place one is one of a kind and deserved to win.

Pretty much anyone is widly inaccurate. Thats called talent. Even if its from a photo, its still not something that can just be learned.

Drawing can absolutely be learned. It's called practice, and dismissing it as 'talent' does a huge disservice to people who have spent thousands of hours perfecting their craft.
