If you say 'I liked the picture of the castle he took whilst the sun was setting', does it mean that you don't like it anymore or you don't like it as much as you did before?

How would I change the meaning of the sentence if I replaced 'liked' with 'like'?

Thank you

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. But I finally realised that it is really impossible if you don't put your money where your mouth is.

It doesn't mean that you don't like it anymore. If that were the case you would say:

I used to like the picture of the castle he took.
