'I "liked" the picture of the castle he took whilst the sun was setting'

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
