I'm no expert in this area, but it looks to me like you have created your polygon using the left-hand rule, rather than the expected right-hand rule. Thus, you are looking at the back of your polygon, rather than the front. It is pretty important with polygons that you get the normal facing the viewer.

Cheers,
