The fact that a person is still learning how to write does not mean that s/he gets a pass for using cliches or for improperly using certain idioms or turns of phrase. And, truthfully, a beginner isn't ever going to learn or improve if no one ever points out the things that s/he is doing wrong. Granted, criticism should be constructive; there's never any excuse for being a dick about it.

Now, "orbs" certainly has been in use for years, but so has the line, "it was a dark and stormy night," and so has the convention of describing a character by having him/her look in a mirror. Cliches are cliches because they have been used for so long by so many people, and yes, they become annoying after a time if only because readers get sick of seeing them. Additionally, a reader may just not personally like the use of a particular descriptor or phrase, and that's okay.
