IMHO, the image Booyah guessed on was a "General" image and not a "Challenge" image so a response that contained the correct "general" answer should have been accepted. Had it been a "Challenge" image then the specific enhancement level could have been required.
Just my opinion.
Edit #1 - ALSO: Any chance all images can be posted in the OP for ease or locating?
Edit #2 - ALSO: Any chance the full image can be posted after the correct guess is acknowledged? I can see some, but I look at that Power Scroll image and have a hard time getting that picture to form.

Hm I might be too late for me to chime in but this is how I saw the situation.
Booyah's guess is yellow, the answer is red, the general area is purple. Obviously getting the answer perfectly correct is fine (the red area). A general guess would hit the red area just fine too since they overlap, but being too specific made him miss the red mark.
It does suck that he didn't get the points, but that's the risk you take when you have a guess. A couple people by now have had close guesses, or hit the general area but have missed the mark and subsequently opened eyes for every other guesser out there. It's just how a guessing game with a hint system like this is going to work. It can work for or against you.
I think for the 1 point guesses people should try to keep a general guess. Like with the elderine fence guess, I was going to be specific and say "avon's fence" but realised there are several fences in elderine that have a similar pattern. So I just went with the elderine fence guess, which I was hoping would be enough to hit the mark.
