Depends, what time is it in the photo! Mine do fine with some light touching them like that in the afternoon, after 3pm. If that’s early morning or later afternoon light it should be fine.

Early morning light? Nah not strong enough to burn. It’ll love it.

Orbifolia should be able to handle morning light. Maybe something to keep in mind: 12:00 is not always “peak sun”, it depends on where you live and the season.
During late fall, winter & early spring I can comfortably have some calatheas behind a floor to ceiling south facing window that recieves full morning light, some shade at noon and then some later afternoon rays again. During winter I could even keep them in full sun. But now in late spring, summer and early fall I have to make sure they don’t get any direct sun after around maybe 10-11am (at the moment the sun already rises at 5:55am).
